Scientific Notation on a Calculator (Casio fx-260)

Demonstration of how to use the built-in functions on a scientific calculator. Also shows why failing to use them can result in errors.

This machine does display significant digits correctly. When you press mode 8 it selects SCI mode but expects a second parameter which is the significant digits number, since you pressed 8, 8 appeared. If you do mode then 8 then 2, you will get 2 significant digits.

Thank you so much, without this video I have no idea how I would've figured out how to use this calculator!

ive been trying to figure out how to divide an exponet by avogrado for a week and couldnt figure it out until this video. thank you!

Thank you so so much, we had a test earlier and I got 1/5 it's kind of like a test that tests if you're listening to the teacher, now I know how to use it! Thank you again!

Cant stress how much this video helped. Thank you very much!

thank you king. saved my chemistry test grade !

Thanks for the video. I have to say the process is much easier/simpler on the Texas Instrument calculators. A lot of people think the Casios are superior because you get a few extra features for the money, but they are more difficult to use and require more steps.

Thank you so much for making this video!

This could be simplified by using the memory stacks. Put the numerator in one stack, insert the division operation, and put the denominator in another stack, and then push the equal sign button.
Stacks allows you to solve large equations comfortably. But if you will use stacks incorrectly, the calculator outputs wrong answer or syntax error.

After getting your answer, why didn’t you simply hit the 2nd function key and then “ENG” key? That would convert your long answer to an easy to read engineering notation.

Amazing that an 8 dollar calculator can do better than my 80's era TI-55...
