Calculation History
In the COMP Mode, the calculator remembers up to approximately 200 bytes of data for the newest calculation. 1+1=2 2+2=4 3+3=6 1+1= 2+2= 3+3= (Scrolls back. ) f (Scrolls back again. ) f

Note: Calculation history data is all cleared whenever you press O, when you change to a different calculation mode, when you change the display format, or whenever you perform any reset operation.
Replay
While a calculation result is on the display, you can press d or e to edit the expression you used for the previous calculation. 4 × 3 + 2. 5 = 14. 5 b 4 * 3 + 2. 5 = 4 × 3 - 7. 1 = 4. 9 (Continuing) dYYYY- 7. 1 =

Note: If you want to edit a calculation when the ' indicator is on the right side of a calculation result display (see "Reading the Display"), press A and then use d and e to scroll the calculation.
Answer Memory (Ans)/Previous Answer Memory (PreAns)
The last calculation result obtained is stored in Ans (answer) memory. The calculation result obtained prior to the last one is stored in PreAns (previous answer) memory. Displaying the result of a new calculation will move current Ans memory contents to PreAns memory and store the new calculation

Variables (A, B, C, D, E, F, X, Y)
Your calculator has eight preset variables named A, B, C, D, E, F, X, and Y. You can assign values to variables and also use the variables in calculations. To assign the result of 3 + 5 to variable A 3 + 5 1t(STO)y(A)

Independent Memory (M)
You can add calculation results to or subtract results from independent memory. The "M" appears on the display when there is any value other than zero stored in independent memory. To clear the contents of M To add the result of 10 × 5 to M 0 1t(STO)l(M) (Continuing) 10 * 5 l

Note: Variable M is used for independent memory.
Clearing the Contents of All Memories
Ans memory, independent memory, and variable contents are retained even if you press A, change the calculation mode, or turn off the calculator. PreAns memory contents are retained even if you press A and turn off the calculator without exiting the COMP Mode. Perform the following procedure when you want to clear the contents of all memories. !9(CLR)2(Memory)=(Yes)
Prime Factorization
In the COMP Mode, you can factor a positive integer up to 10 digits into prime factors up to three digits. To perform prime factorization on 1014 1014 = !e(FACT) When you perform prime factorization on a value that includes a factor that is prime number with more than three digits, the part that cannot be factored will be enclosed in parentheses on the display. To perform prime factorization on 4104676 (= 22 × 10132) !e(FACT) Any one of the following operations will exit prime factorization result display. · Using the setup menu to change the angle unit setting (Deg, Rad, Gra) or the display digits setting (Fix, Sci, Norm).
E-17
Note: · You will not be able to execute prime factorization while a decimal value, fraction, or negative value calculation result is displayed. · You will not be able to execute prime factorization while the result of a calculation that uses Pol, Rec, ÷R is displayed.
Remainder Calculations
You can use the ÷R function in order to obtain the quotient and remainder in a division calculation. To calculate the quotient and remainder of 5 ÷ 2
Math
B
5 !D(÷R) 2 =
Quotient Remainder
b
5 !D(÷R) 2 =
Quotient Remainder
Note: · Only the quotient value of a ÷R calculation is stored in Ans memory. · Assigning the result of a remainder division calculation to a variable will assign the quotient value only. Performing the operation 5 !D(÷R) 2 !t(STO))(X) (which assigns the result of 5÷R2 to X) will assign a value of 2 to X. [. . . ] Note that you should make separate copies of important data before performing these steps. Check the calculation expression to make sure that it does not contain any errors. Make sure that you are using the correct mode for the type of calculation you are trying to perform. This will cause the calculator to perform a routine that checks whether calculation functions are operating correctly. [. . . ]
