Engineering Format ({
ENG format displays a number in a manner similar to scientific notation,
except that the exponent is a multiple of three (there can be up to three digits
before the " " or " " radix mark). This format is most useful for scientific and

SHOWing Full 12–Digit Prec ision
Changing the number of displayed decimal places affects what you see, but it
does not affect the internal representation of numbers. Any number stored
internally always has 12 digits.
For example, in the number 14.8745632019, you see only "14.8746"
when the display mode is set to FIX 4, but the last six digits ("632019") are
present internally in the calculator.
To temporarily display a number in full precision, press
shows you the mantissa (but no exponent) of the number for as long as you
hold down
