Complete Guide to Calculator Functions

To help you get the most out of our calculator, here is a detailed explanation of every button and its function. Many buttons have a secondary function, which you can access by pressing the 2nd key first.

Basic Operations & Entry

0-9, .

The number and decimal keys are used to enter values.

+, −, ×, ÷

The standard arithmetic operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

=

Calculates the result of the current expression.

AC / C (All Clear / Clear)

Press once (C) to clear the current entry. Press twice (AC) to clear the entire calculation.

± (Negate)

Switches the sign of the current number from positive to negative, or vice-versa. Example: Entering 5 then pressing ± changes it to -5.

% (Percent)

Handles percentages. In basic mode, it's useful for tips and discounts (e.g., 50 + 10% equals 55). In scientific mode, it converts a number to its decimal equivalent (e.g., 50% becomes 0.5).

Control and Memory Functions

2nd (Second Function)

The shift key for the calculator. Pressing it activates the secondary function written above many of the scientific keys (e.g., changes sin to sin⁻¹).

( ) (Parentheses)

Groups parts of an expression to control the order of operations (PEMDAS). Example: (2 + 3) * 4 equals 20, whereas 2 + 3 * 4 equals 14.

M+, M−, MR, MC (Memory)

These buttons control the calculator's memory. M+ adds the current display value to memory, M− subtracts it, MR recalls the stored value, and MC clears the memory.

Ans (Answer)

Recalls the result of the last completed calculation for use in a new one.

Powers, Roots, and Exponents

x² and x³ (Square and Cube)

Calculates the square (power of 2) or cube (power of 3) of a number. Example: 5 then x² gives 25.

xʸ (Power)

Raises a base number (x) to any power (y). Example: To calculate 2⁵, enter 2 xʸ 5 =.

eˣ and 10ˣ (Exponents)

Raises Euler's number (e) or 10 to the power of the entered number.

√x (Square Root) and ∛x (Cube Root)

Calculates the square root or cube root of a number. ∛x is a secondary function (press 2nd first).

ʸ√x (Y-th Root)

The secondary function of xʸ. It finds any root of a number. Example: To find the 4th root of 16, enter 16 ʸ√x 4 =.

Logarithmic Functions

log (Base-10 Logarithm)

Calculates the base-10 logarithm of a number.

ln (Natural Logarithm)

Calculates the base-e (natural) logarithm of a number.

log₂(x) (Base-2 Logarithm)

The secondary function of 10ˣ. Calculates the base-2 logarithm.

log_y(x) (Log to Base Y)

The secondary function of ln. Allows you to calculate a logarithm to any base. Use as log(x)/log(y).

Trigonometric Functions

Remember to use the DRG button to switch between Degrees (DEG), Radians (RAD), and Gradians (GRAD) mode before using these functions.

sin, cos, tan

The standard trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, and tangent.

sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹ (Inverse)

The secondary functions of the standard trig buttons. These are the inverse (or arc) functions, used to find an angle from a known ratio. Example: 0.5 sin⁻¹ gives 30 (in DEG mode).

sinh, cosh, tanh

Hyperbolic functions, used in advanced mathematics and engineering.

sinh⁻¹, cosh⁻¹, tanh⁻¹ (Inverse Hyperbolic)

The secondary functions of the hyperbolic buttons, used to find the inverse hyperbolic values.

Special Functions and Constants

π and e

Inserts the mathematical constants Pi (≈3.14159) and Euler's Number (≈2.71828).

n! (Factorial)

Calculates the product of all positive integers up to the given number. Example: 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120.

mod (Modulo)

Returns the remainder of a division. Example: 10 mod 3 equals 1.

|x| (Absolute Value)

The secondary function of x². It returns the non-negative value of a number. Example: |-5| equals 5.

1/x (Reciprocal)

The secondary function of x³. Calculates 1 divided by the number.

rand (Random)

The secondary function of n!. Generates a random decimal number between 0 and 1.

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use your physical keyboard to operate the calculator for maximum speed and convenience.
