If a calculation produces a result with 11-digits or more, the calculator

uses the internal guard digits to determine how to display the result. If

the eleventh digit of the result is 5 or greater, the calculator rounds the

result to the next larger value for display.

For example, consider this problem.

1 P 3 Q 3 = ?

Internally, the calculator solves the problem in two steps, as shown

below.

1. 1 P 3 = 0.3333333333333

2. 0.3333333333333 Q 3 = 0.9999999999999

The calculator rounds the result and displays it as 1. This rounding

enables the calculator to display the most accurate result.

Although most calculations are accurate to within ±1 in the last displayed

digit, higher-order mathematical functions use iterative calculations, in

which inaccuracies can accumulate in the guard digits. In most cases, the

cumulative error from these calculations is maintained beyond the 10-

digit display so that no inaccuracy is shown.

AOS™ (Algebraic Operating System) Calculations

When you select the AOS calculation method, the calculator uses the

standard rules of algebraic hierarchy to determine the order in which it

performs operations.
