174.
Greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Inverse of x; 1/x.
Integer part of x.
Value of the specified SUM-list item.
Store the value of expr in the variable x.
The variable will not appear in the SOLVE
menu if it is only used in L and G functions.
This is useful if you have a complex
expression that uses the same sub
expression multiples times for example:
(1+i)^N x PV+((1–(1+i)^N)/(1–(1+i))) x PMT+FV
It can be written: 

Natural (base e) log of x.
In (1 + x)
Common (base 10) log of x.
Compares x and y, and returns the larger
of the two.
Compares x and y, and returns the smaller
of the two.
Remainder of the division x/y. MOD(x,y) =
x－y x INT(x/y)
π ; 3.14159265359 (12 digits).
Rounds x to y decimal places if 0 ≤ y ≤ 11,
or rounds x to y significant digits if －12 ≤
y ≤ －1. y must be an integer.
Used in an IF function to test if solving for
the variable named. Used to combine
related equations into one Solver menu.
