Common questions and troubleshooting
Why is the result different from adding the numbers left to right?
Multiplication and division normally take precedence over addition and subtraction. Use parentheses to specify your intended grouping: 3 × (4 + 2) is 18, while 3 × 4 + 2 is 14. Inspect the entered expression and use appropriate rounding when the result represents money or a measurement.
