After you hit the / (that is, the divide button), you're supposed to see 3 (12/4) there. So when you press i it will put 3 into i. Did you see 3 right after pressing /? Hi MooNinja!

After you hit the / (that is, the divide button), you’re supposed to see 3 (12/4) there. So when you press i it will put 3 into i. Did you see 3 right after pressing /?

When i put the 4 into n and then hit / then i, it merely puts 4 into i and nothing else. What am I doing wrong ??? I’ve tried doing this following the steps exactly and I can’t seem to get it to run.

Also Wolf, it's not only the keystrokes, but also the "computation overhead" that's happening in your head. With the method I detailed in this post, those are unnecessary. Just enter the numbers and you're set. I do that too, actually (leaving 4 decimals in my HP12C).

However, it is inefficient. Much more keystrokes. 4 keys compared to 9! let's say you had to change the decimal places even. Well that 4 more strokes right? [f] 4 to see four decimals and then [f] 2 to change back to default. even then it's 8 to 9. I just leave my 12c on 4 decimals to begin with for the precision.

Holding period return is 20%. EAR is (1 + 0.2)^(365/18) – 1 = 3930%. Is that what you’re looking for?
