Multiplication and Division
Multiplication and division operations are performed
independently of addition and subtraction. If you are
adding a column of numbers, you can perform an
intermediate calculation involving [ x ], [ . l, and [ = ]
without affecting the addition. Refer to "Using the
Independent Add Register" later in the manual for
examples.
Keys
The following keys are used for multiplication and division
operations
Multiply Key [ x ]-Causes the last entered number or last
result to be printed as the multiplicand with a x symbol
printed to the right of the number. When you press [ x ], an
intermediate multiplication or division result is displayed.
Divide Key [ + ]--Causes the last entered number or the last
result to be printed as the dividend with a symbol printed to
the right of the number When you press [ ] an intermediate
multiplication or division result is displayed. Division by
zero is invalid and causes ----------------followed by 0 * to be
printed and an arrow followed by 0 to be displayed
Equals Key [ = ]-Completes multiplication or division When
used following multiplication or division, the last entered or
displayed number is printed as the multiplier or divisor with
an = symbol printed to the right of the number. Then the
result is shown in the display and printed with an asterisk to
the right
Clear Entry Key [CE]-When used immediately following a
number entry, this key clears the entered number and allows
another number to be entered in its place without affecting
previous entries
