• When the calculation result is a sexagesimal value (degrees, minutes,  
seconds), it is converted to a decimal value and then to a percent.  
• Percent conversion cannot be performed on the result of a remainder  
calculation (÷R).  
Degree, Minute, Second (Sexagesimal) Calculations  
Performing an addition or subtraction operation between sexagesimal values,  
or a multiplication or division operation between a sexagesimal value and a  
decimal value will cause the result to be displayed as a sexagesimal value.  
You also can convert between sexagesimal and decimal. The following  
E-9  
is the input format for a sexagesimal value: {degrees} $ {minutes} $  
{seconds} $.  
Note: You must always input something for the degrees and minutes, even  
if they are zero.

Quotient Remainder  
Note: • Only the quotient value of a ÷R calculation is stored in Ans memory.  
• Assigning a remainder calculation result to independent memory (M) will  
cause only the quotient value to be assigned. For example, assigning the  
result of the remainder calculation 5÷R2 (5u2S) will result in 2 being  
assigned to M. Adding a remainder calculation result to or subtracting result  
from M will add or subtract only the quotient value. • If a ÷R calculation is part  
of a multi-step calculation, only the quotient is passed on to the next operation.  
(Example: 10+17u6=10 + 2) • Operation of the F, and e keys  
is disabled while a remainder division result is on the display.  
E-11  
Cases when Remainder Division becomes  
Non-remainder Division  
If either of the following conditions exists when you perform a remainder  
division operation, the calculation will be treated as normal (non-remainder)  
division.  
• When either the dividend or the divisor is a very large value  
Example: 20000000000 u17=  
Calculated as: 20000000000 ÷ 17  
• When the quotient is not a positive integer, or if the remainder is not a  
positive integer or positive fractional value  
Example: -5u2= Calculated as: –5 ÷ 2

• Precision is basically the same as that described under “Calculation Range  
and Precision”, above.  
• xy type function requires consecutive internal calculation, which can cause  
accumulation of errors that occur with each calculation.  
• Error is cumulative and tends to be large in the vicinity of a function’s singular  
point and inflection point.  
• The range for calculation results that can be displayed in π form is |x| Ͻ  
106. Note, however, that internal calculation error can make it impossible  
to display some calculation results in π form. It also can cause calculation  
results that should be in decimal form to appear in π form.
