Is there a way to force the default answer format to be in decimal instead of funky fractions, requiring use of the "change" key?

I don't know, I would think that there would be a way to do that. I bought that to help me in my pre algebra, I wasn't very good in my pre algebra class.

I changed my EL-W516X to display decimals instead of fractions by changing it to Line View: Press 2ND F -> MATH (for SET UP) -> 2: EDITOR -> 1: LINE.

There's an exchange key could exchange the expression. It is above the key of " )"， and print on "change".

Yes. I had the same problem at first. Enter CPLX mode (mode 3). Mode 0 defaults to fractional answers. At least that's the way it is on my EL-W516.

Set the decimal indicator, which goes from 0 to F, on 2. It will then put the decimal point automatically 2 places from the right.

No, you have to put the decimal in where it is needed. Other than that, ours is still going strong. All Texas Instrument equipment is great and reliable.

Don't know of an easy way. I would start by eliminating unlikely combinations (if you wouldn't have started with a 0 or 1, for example) and then using a methodical approach: 999,998,997, and so on. If you didn't set a combination in the first place, it should still be set at the factory default, which I believe is either 000 or 999. Good luck.

Mine switched from 12 to 24 hour format the first time I pressed a set key, and nothing I did afterward would switch it back to 12 hours. I went through every possible combination of the three buttons.

To Davisof4 - Can you turn "recalculating" on? I actually like that feature.

Well... I Use a calulator call Num Pad (very old) I can change if from ten key (which I normally use) to calculator. When I use calculator use it does do what you are asking. Does that help?

Once it is set to inH20, hold down on the HOLD button until it zeroes out. Then while in use it will register to the 1/100th position, i.e. "11.54"

I have not had that problem maybe it is how you key in data. Example: put in $45.00 hit + hit 20.00 (number you want to subtract) hit - and answer $25.00 will appear on screen. I use the print option, middle slide on right (4/5) and +023F on + (left position)

Ha, ha, that's got to be a joke. Maybe they put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Yes, mine shows two decimal places, for example 4.38. However at 10 and above it simply reads "HI (10+)."

Changes to times appear in BOLD.....and/or manually entered times are also in BOLD

The default answer for a division problem is a fraction. To convert the fraction to a decimal, hit the SD key. If you keep hitting the SD key, it will toggle through all the different ways to write the answer. Give me an example of what you want to do with the log function.

There is a "format" feature in one of the menus. The manual is not very clear, you need to tinker with it, but you will find this menu.

2nd answer. Hi Carolyn. Maybe I misunderstood your question. Pressing SHIFT MODE gives you several options. Pressing one of the numbers corresponds to your particular choice.Pressing SHIFT then MODE and the down arrow on the big round navigation (Replay) key provides you with even more options. To RESET your calculator back to NORMAL, press SHIFT, 9 (CLR) the option 3 (ALL), then = (Yes) followed by the AC key.Regards, David.

Set the number to 00...that'll do it. Not at all intuitive, but somehow I found it.
