I can calculate 9 divided by 12 equal to .75 but i need to calculate .09 by 12 and it gives me 7.5 with -03 no calculation will give me the correct answer. there is a letter block D in the top.
The calculator is telling you that the result is 7.5 times ten to the negative 3, or 0.0075 .
If you want to see the result without the exponent, change the display mode. Press SHIFT [SETUP] 6 and then specify the number of digits you want after the decimal point.
The D simply tells you that the calculator is set to Degrees. All trig functions will use degrees. If you want to change this, press SHIFT [SETUP] and select 4 for Radians or 5 for Grads.

Haven't heard of it giving nearest whole numbers before. But have you tried pressing SHIFT and then SETUP (upper right hand corner next to ON button) and then pressing 2 (LineIO)? Or perhaps you're in different MODE?

Hello,
To convert fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions, you use the [S<->D] key. Each time you press the key the result is displayed in the other format.
Alternatively, If you multiply or divide two integer numbers put a decimal mark at the end of one of the numbers (any one). The result will be displayed in decimal format.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Use the [S<->D] key to switch between the two.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
I am only looking for a plausible cause of the error, because I do not believe your calculator can make such a mistake. I think you accidentally activated the Exponential display format and did not pay attention to the small, raised -03 that came at the end of the number displayed. It is a common mistake for those not very familiar with Scientific or exponential notation.
Let us try to reset your calculator to the normal (floating point) format.
Press the [MODE] key a number of times until you reach a screen that has FIX, SCI, NORM and under each one a number (FIX 1, SCI 2), Norm 3). To have the number of decimal place you gave in your result (4 decimal digits), you press 1 to select Fix then 4.
Be aware that scientific calculators usually stop displaying results in floating point format ( 0.0000045 ) if the number is smaller then 0.001. So basically, 0.00099 will be displayed as 9.90-04, -04 being raised above the level, and in smaller size.
Hope it helps.

Try using the S<>D(above the orange DEL button) button after you've obtained your result..
