Results
The calculator can display up to 10 digits plus a minus sign (-9, 999, 999, 999 through 9, 999, 999, 999) and a 2-digit exponent. Results with more than 10 digits display in scientific notation.

Probability
A combination is an arrangement of objects in which order is not important, as in a hand of cards. " i calculates the number of possible combinations of n items taken r at a time. Calculate the number of 5-card poker hands that can be dealt from a deck of 52 cards. 52 " i 5 J 2598960.
A permutation is an arrangement of objects in which the order is important, as in a race. " j calculates the number of possible permutations of n items taken r at a time. Calculate the number of possible permutations for the 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place finishers (no ties) in an 8horse race. 8"j3J 336.
