That might be true, however it do not explain why other calculators like Casio, Texas, the WP-34S, and even some HP models like the 300S+ can handle those simple arithmetic problems by giving the correct mathematical answer. Please check Dieter explanation, it makes all the sense to me. For me it is not about the number of digits in the display, it is about the number of internal digits used in approximate calculations.
