48G Infinite Numerical Precision for Integers? Message #1 Posted by Hal Bitton on 16 Sept 2006, 1:30 a.m. Hi Folks. I've had my 48G for about three weeks now, and have still not figured out how to display long integers on it. For instance, if I key in a 50 digit integer, the command line accepts it just fine, but when I enter it, it's converted to scientific notation, and I can't figure out how to get the integer view back. I can't seem to find this topic addressed in the user's guide. How can I view all the digits in my big integer again? Thanks, and best regards, Hal

You will need to download a third party program from hpcalc.org .

Are you referring to this lib by Werner Huysegoms? It's for the HP 49, not the 48G. Marcus

Message #4 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 16 Sept 2006, 4:57 a.m., in response to message #1 by Hal Bitton For the feature to work, an "exact integer" object type is neccessary. To my knowledge, this did not exist prior to the CAS equipped HP49g and its successors. Marcus
