127
in scientific notation, first enter the mantissa (
1.23
) and then press
:w
and enter the number (
127
) representing the exponent. The exponent must have a
value between –499 and +499. If an expression has more than 12 digits, or if an operation
returns a result with more than 12 digits, the calculator automatically displays scientific
notation.
