Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DEG, RAD, and GRAD?

DEG (Degrees): Most common angle measurement. Full circle = 360°. Use for everyday calculations.

RAD (Radians): Mathematical standard. Full circle = 2π radians. Used in calculus and advanced mathematics.

GRAD (Gradians): Full circle = 400 grads. Rarely used, mainly in some European surveying.

How do I calculate percentages?

For percentage of a number: 50 × 20% = 10

For percentage increase: 100 + 20% = 120

For percentage decrease: 100 - 20% = 80

What is the difference between log and ln?

log is the logarithm with base 10 (common logarithm). Example: log(100) = 2 because 10² = 100

ln is the natural logarithm with base e (≈2.718). Example: ln(e) = 1 because e¹ = e

How do I use the memory functions?

MS (Memory Store): Saves the current displayed value to memory

MR (Memory Recall): Displays the value stored in memory

M+ (Memory Add): Adds current value to what's in memory

M- (Memory Subtract): Subtracts current value from memory

MC (Memory Clear): Clears the memory (sets to 0)

What is EXP used for?

EXP is used for scientific notation to represent very large or very small numbers. For example:

6.022 EXP 23 represents 6.022 × 10²³ (Avogadro's number)

1.6 EXP -19 represents 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ (electron charge in coulombs)

How do I calculate inverse functions?

Inverse trigonometric functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹) are also called arc functions.

Example: If sin(30°) = 0.5, then sin⁻¹(0.5) = 30°

These functions help find the angle when you know the ratio.
