6. Calculation Range
1. Arithmetic calculation
The results for dividend, multiplicand and operand are:
-1 × 10
100
< x -1 × 10
-
99
, 1 × 10
-
99
< x 1 × 10
100
or x = 0
(valid within the range of display capability)
Note: Calculation results and input values less than 1 × 10
-
99
are
considered equal to 0.
2. Function calculation
Calculation accuracy
In principle, calculation errors are ±1 of the last digit. (In case of exponential
display, the calculation errors are ±1 of the last digit of the mantissa display.)
However, a calculation error increases in continuous calculations due to
accumulation of each calculation error. (This is the same for a
b
,
b
a
, n!, e
x
, In, etc.
where continuous calculations are performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become larger in the
vicinity of inflection points and singular points of functions. (for example,
calculating sinh X or tanh X at X = 0)
