Sharp Calculator

JSK 252 · 2010-09-18 21:04:31

Does anybody know on the sharp scientific calculators how to change an answer you get into scientific notation becuase I seem to be only able to do it if I go into notation mode and then do the calculation.

Not sure, but have you tried going into the mode and then pressing equals again? (Or "Ans",=)

Can you see "FSE" somewhere? Usually need to hit 2ndF, switches between Fixed, Scientific and Engineering displays.

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

You should be able to find a manual online if you type the model number of the calculator into Google. The model number is likely somewhere on the calculator.
