Using the Calculator 54
DISPLAY FORMATTING. Your HP-01 handles numbers from 1 x 1079 to 9.999 x 10°%.
The calculator display shows seven digits, a decimal point, and a minus sign (if there is one).
You can key in numbers from .0000001 to 9999999. Trailing zeros after the decimal point are
blanked out.
If you key in the number 21.3157832, it will be cut off to seven digits: 2/.31578
If an answeris equal to or greater than 107 or less than 1074, the display automatically shifts
to scientific notation. Scientific notation displays a four-digit number (and a decimal point and
sign) and a two-digit exponent that is a power of 10. It is particularly useful when working with
very large or very small numbers.
For example, raising .05 to the fourth power results in the answer .00000625. Since this is less
than10~¢,your HP-01switches automatically to scientific notation and displays 6.25 -05.
