Or: 123456789.87654321 1.11111111 x 1 = 1.11111111 + 1.11111111 x 10 = 11.1111111 + 1.11111111 x 100 = 111.111111 + 1.11111111 x 1,000 = 1111.11111 + 1.11111111 x 10,000 = 11111.1111 + 1.11111111 x 100,000 = 111111.111 + 1.11111111 x 1,000,000 = 1111111.11 + 1.11111111 x 10,000,000 = 11111111.1 + 1.11111111 x 100,000,000 = 111111111 + ----------------------------------------------- 1.11111111 x 111,111,111 = 123456789.87654321

Post #303,967 by Ashton 2/10/09 5:55:23 PM Reply	cough it's a measly 9-banger still 10x as good as the usual 8, Internal register for a 10th for internal arithmetic, I wot. Whether truncated or rounded in the 10th digit becomes, thus er, academic? The hP 35: a REVOLUTION -- we stared in amazement as it proved Correct (rounding to its stated accuracy) VS a CD-6600 result to n places. Can't invent the First One again. Anyway, the 1s-sequence is a handy quick check on some nameless box found under a bureau, with which you are about to calculate your mg/kilo-body weight of Beladonna ... or some other Interesting substance. Can't be too careful when liff is at stake.. and yer stoned.
