Transforming Displayed
Values
You can use the procedures in this section to transform a displayed
value to engineering notation, or to transform between standard form
and decimal form.
k Using Engineering Notation
A simple key operation transforms a displayed value to engineering
notation.
Appendix
<#035> Transform the value 1,234 to engineering notation, shifting
the decimal point to the right.
<#036> Transform the value 123 to engineering notation, shifting
the decimal point to the left.
k Using S-D Transformation
You can use S-D transformation to transform a value between its
decimal (D) form and its standard (S) form (fraction, π).
Formats Supported for S-D Transformation
S-D transformation can be used to transform a displayed decimal
calculation result to one of the forms described below. Performing
S-D transformation again converts back to the original decimal value.
Note
•When you transform from decimal form to standard form, the
calculator automatically decides the standard form to use. You
cannot specify the standard form.
Fraction: The current fraction display format setting determines
whether the result is an improper fraction or mixed
fraction.
π: The following are the π forms that are supported.
This is true only in the case of Math format.
nπ (n is an integer.)
c

(depending on fraction display format
setting)
•Transformation to a fractional π form is limited to inverse
trigonometric function results and values that are normally
expressed in radians.
•After obtaining a calculation result in ' form, you can convert it
to decimal form by pressing the f key. When the original
calculation result is in decimal form, it cannot be converted to '
form.
