Doing Two–number Arithmetic in ALG
This discussion of arithmetic using ALG replaces the following parts that are
affected by ALG mode. One-number functions (such as
?
) work the same in ALG
and RPN modes.
Two–number arithmetic operations are affected by ALG mode:


Percentage calculations (

or

)

Permutation and Combination (
¹ x
,
¹ {
)

Quotient and Remainder Division (

)
Simple Arithmetic
Here are some examples of simple arithmetic.
In ALG mode, you enter the first number, press the operator (
Ù
,
Ã
,
¸
,
¯
),
enter the second number, and finally press the
Ï
key.
