C–2 ALG: Summary
Doing Two–number Arithmetic in ALG
This discussion of arithmetic using ALG replaces the following parts that are
affected by ALG mode. One-number functions (such as
#
) work the same in ALG
and RPN modes.
Two–number arithmetic operations are affected by ALG mode:

Simple arithmetic

Power functions (
,
)

Percentage calculations (
Q
or
|T
)

Permutations and Combinations (
{\
,
{_
)

Quotient and Remainder of Division (
{F
,
|D
)
Simple Arithmetic
Here are some examples of simple arithmetic.
In ALG mode, you enter the first number, press the operator (
,
,
z
,
q
),
enter the second number, and finally press the
key.
