And otherwise the machine displays lx I in the scientific notation system.
(When the number of decimal digits is fixed at 0 to 9, a calculation result is displayed,
even if it is below 0.000000001, in the floating decimal point system.) However, a
calculation result w ith in the above range is also capable of being displayed in the scien­
tific notation system by pressing the (

The machine carries out all calculations in exponent form (A x 10B) and computes
the mantissa of a result up to 12 digits. (In the above example (2)),

And the mantissa is displayed after rounded at the 11th place (Floating decimal system)
or at a decimal place one lower than the specified.
