Doing Two–number Arithmetic in ALG
This discussion of arithmetic using ALG replaces the following parts that are
affected by ALG mode. One-number functions (such as
#
) work the same in ALG
and RPN modes.
Two–number arithmetic operations are affected by ALG mode:
Simple arithmetic
Power functions (
,
)
Percentage calculations (
Q
or
| T
)
Permutations and Combinations (
{ \
,
{ _
)
Quotient and Remainder of Division (
{ F
,
| D
)
Simple Arithmetic
Here are some examples of simple arithmetic.
In ALG mode, you enter the first number, press the operator (
,
,
z
,
q
),
enter the second number, and finally press the
key.
