E-19

Note: • Only the quotient value of a ÷R calculation is stored in Ans memory.
• Assigning the result of a remainder division calculation to a variable
will assign the quotient value only. Performing the operation 5

a

'(÷R) 2 !t(STO))(X) (which assigns the result of 5÷R2 to X)
will assign a value of 2 to X. • If a ÷R calculation is part of a multi-step
calculation, only the quotient is passed on to the next operation. (Example:
10

+ 17 a'(÷R) 6 = → 10 + 2) • Operation of the f and e keys is

disabled while a remainder division result is on the display.

Cases when Remainder Division becomes
Non-remainder Division

If either of the following conditions exists when you perform a remainder
division operation, the calculation will be treated as normal (non-remainder)
division.

• When either the dividend or the divisor is a very large value
Example: 20000000000

a'(÷R) 17 =

→ Calculated as: 20000000000 ÷ 17
• When the quotient is not a positive integer, or if the remainder is not a

positive integer or positive fractional value

Example:

- 5 a'(÷R) 2 = → Calculated as: –5 ÷ 2

Prime Factorization

In the COMP Mode, you can factor a positive integer up to 10 digits into
prime factors up to three digits.

!e(FACT)

When you perform prime factorization on a value that includes a factor that
is prime number with more than three digits, the part that cannot be factored
will be enclosed in parentheses on the display.

!e(FACT)

Any one of the following operations will exit prime factorization result
display.
• Pressing

!e(FACT) or =.

• Pressing any of the following keys:

. or e.

• Using the setup menu to change the angle unit setting (Deg, Rad, Gra) or

the display digits setting (Fix, Sci, Norm).

Note: • You will not be able to execute prime factorization while a decimal
value, fraction, or negative value calculation result is displayed. Trying to
do so will cause a math error (Math ERROR). • You will not be able to
execute prime factorization while the result of a calculation that uses Pol,
Rec, ÷R is displayed.
