Since the divisor
in
division becomes the constant, the division constant can
be read directly from the paper tape. However,
in
multiplication the constant
number may actually be
an
intermediate result that has not been printed.
The key sequence
[J]
@]
will cause the multiplication constant value to be
printed.
Example: Determine the constant value after solving the following problem.
36 x 4.5 + 12 x 6 =
81

The constant value is the composite result of the first three entries:
36 x 4.5 + 12 = 13.5.
The automatic constant allows
an
entry or result to be divided into one (a
reciprocal) without reentering numbers. The key sequence to calculate the
reciprocal of
an
entered number or the last printed result
