If you enter the expression in exact mode, with all the numbers being integers (no decimal point!), and EVAL it instead of using ->NUM, then you'll get the exact answer 4117367101025. Ditto for any upper limit or power (within reason of course!). If you are in exact mode, but still get floating-point approximations instead of exact integer results, your flag -3 might be set, or some other flag. Quote:I remember that the hp50g is able to print out long numbers, I tried so search on internet a bit and I found no built in functions. I found a post mentioning the library longFloat (how much great work on for those little devices!) but before trying to use it I would like to ask here, where there are a lot of experienced people compared to me. It can output integers of any length, but floating-point precision is always 12 mantissa digits unless you insteall the LongFloat library, which you should, because it's awesome, allowing mantisssas up to 9999 digits long(!), and huge exponents. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
