whether or not the calculator is set to a Special Display Format.
• Floating decimal point format (no symbol is displayed)
Valid values beyond the maximum range are displayed in the form of a [10-digit

The distance from the earth to the sun is approx. 150,000,000 (1.5 x 108) km.Values
such as this with many zeros are often used in scientific calculations, but entering the
zeros one by one is a great deal of work and it’s easy to make mistakes.
In such a case, the numerical values are divided into mantissa and exponent portions,
displayed and calculated.
<Example>

coordinate geometry conversions.
D egrees (D E G is shown at the top of the display)
A commonly used unit of measure for angles.The angular measure of a circle
is expressed as 360°.
R adians (R A D is shown at the top of the display)
Radians are different than degrees and express angles based on the circumfer-
ence of a circle. 180° is equivalent to π radians.Therefore, the angular mea-
sure of a circle is 2π radians.
G rads (G R A D is shown at the top of the display)
Grads are a unit of angular measure used in Europe, particularly in France. An
angle of 90 degrees is equivalent to 100 grads.
The relationships between the three types
of angular units can be expressed as right:
