A number stored in a variable is always stored as a 12-digit
mantissa with a 3-digit exponent. Numeric precision in the
display, however, depends on the display mode (Standard,
Fixed, Scientific, Engineering, or Fraction). A displayed
number has only the precision that is displayed. If you copy it

precision displayed, not the full internal precision. On the
other hand, the variable Ans always contains the most recent
result to full precision.
