Frequently asked questions
What do the MR, MC, M+, and M- buttons do?
M+ adds the current value to memory, M- subtracts it from memory, MR recalls the stored memory value, and MC clears memory. Useful for storing intermediate results to combine later.
When should I use the GT (Grand Total) function?
GT automatically accumulates each result confirmed with the = button. Enter a series of calculations one at a time, then press GT to instantly see the running total of all of them.
What is the difference between CE and AC?
CE (Clear Entry) clears only the number you just typed while keeping the ongoing calculation. AC (All Clear) resets the entire calculation, though it does not clear memory.
Can I calculate a discount using the percent (%) button?
Yes. For example, entering 10000 and 20% shows the percentage amount (2000), which you can subtract or add to quickly get a discounted or tax-included price.
When is the square root (√) function useful?
It is handy for finding the side length of a square from its area, or for statistics and engineering calculations like standard deviation. Enter a number and press √ to see the result instantly.
