(f)(sci4 1.2346 02 1.2346 X 10% display
rounded up.
6 1.234568 02 1.234568 X 102 display
rounded up.
As indicated in the above examples, display rounding occurs on the
last decimal place you specify when you place the calculator in
mode. Specifying more than six digits to the right of the decimal
will not increase the number of digits displayed to the right of the
decimal beyond six. However, specifying seven or more to the right
of the decimal will move rounding into the digits (held internally)
that follow those allowed by the largest display. Using the
display remaining from the previous example, the following
operation does not increase the number of digits in the display, but
does move rounding beyond the displayed digits.*
Keystrokes Display
7 1.234567 02 Rounding occurs at
seventh decimal place;
display cannot show
seventh decimal place in
[SClJmode, so no rounding
occurs in the display.
8 1.234567 02 Rounds to 8" decimal
place. No change in
displayed digits.
9 1.234567 02 Rounds to 9" decimal
place. No change in
displayed digits.
*If one or more trailing 9’s exist internally following the last digit allowed in the display
setting, rounding may be propagated in the displayed digits for 7 and 8 display
settings. For example, 1.00000094 in 7 will not cause rounding in the displayed
version of the number, but 1.00000095 (...95 to ...99) in 7 will cause rounding in the
displayed digits.
