Estimating Calculation Results
If you perform a calculation that results in
an overflow error, you can estimate the cor-
rect result (to 8 significant digits) by follow-
ing these steps.
1. Count the number of digits displayed
to the left of the decimal point.
2. Remove the decimal point.
3. Add as many zeros to the right of the
number as there were digits to the left
of the decimal point.
For example, the displayed value
ERROR
1.0142064
is estimated to equal
101,420,640.
