One-Number Functions
One-number math functions in the HP 15c operate only upon the number
in the display (X-register).
General Functions
Reciprocal. Pressing ⁄ calculates the reciprocal of the number in the
display.
Factorial and Gamma. Pressing ´ ! calculates the factorial of the
displayed value, where x is an integer 0 ≤ x ≤ 69.
You can also use ! to calculate the Gamma function, Γ(x),
used in
advanced mathematics and statistics. Pressing ´ ! calculates
Γ(x + 1), so you must subtract 1 from your initial operand to get Γ(x). For
the Gamma function, x is not restricted to nonnegative integers.
Square Root. Pressing ¤ calculates the positive square root of the
number in the display.
Squaring. Pressing | x calculates the square of the number in the
display.
