Calculators

Using a calculator is helpful for simplifying computations that involve large num­bers.

Sample set d

Use a calculator to determine each value.

9, 842 + 56 85 size 12{9,"842"+"56" cdot "85"} {}

Key Display Reads
Perform the multiplication first. Type 56 56
Press × 56
Type 85 85
Now perform the addition. Press + 4760
Type 9842 9842
Press = 14602

The display now reads 14,602.

Key Display Reads
Operate inside the parentheses Type 27 27
Press + 27
Type 18 18
Press = 45
Multiply by 42. Press × 45
Type 42 42
Press = 1890

Place this result into memory by pressing the memory key.

Key Display Reads
Now operate in the other parentheses. Type 810 810
Press ÷ 810
Type 18 18
Press = 45
Now multiply by 105. Press × 45
Type 105 105
Press = 4725
We are now ready to add these two quantities together. Press + 4725
Press the memory recall key. 1890
Press = 6615

Thus, 42 ( 27 + 18 ) + 105 ( 810 ÷ 18 ) = 6, 615 size 12{"42" \( "27"+"18" \) +"105" \( "810"÷"18" \) =6,"615"} {}

This number is too big for the display of some calculators and we'll probably get some kind of error message. On some scientific calculators such large numbers are coped with by placing them in a form called "scientific notation." Others can do the multiplication directly. (1803416780)
