Toggling between float (aka ‘normal’) display vs scientific notation, the Staples BD-6108 Scientific Calculator delivers.<\/p>\n

Let’s imagine you want to convert 0.000297 to scientific notation. Here’s how, on the Staples BD-6108:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, key MODE then 1, which is the mode for everyday decimal calculations.\n
  2. Next, key 0.000297, then press =\n
  3. Press INV then the decimal point (which has SCI written above).\n
  4. To toggle back to normal (FLOAT) notation, just press INV then 0 (which has FLO written above).\n<\/ol>\n
