instructions for changing the format.
Number of Decimal Places
The calculator internally stores numeric values to an accuracy of
13 digits. You can specify the number of decimal places to be
displayed. The default is two decimal places, rounding if necessary.
The decimal format setting affects only the display; it does not
round the internal value, except for amortization and depreciation
results. To round the internal value, use the round function.
Note: Examples in this guidebook assume a setting of two decimal
places. Other settings may show different results.
