Windows 10: Windows 10 Calculator: Value of Pi

I memorized around 200 digits of pi based off of angio.net. However, when I press the pi button on the Calculator and subtract my memorized value, the two values to not cancel. Rather, at a little after the 50th digit (...028841971693993###...), the value I memorized is "...028841971693993751058209749445923..." but the value that shows up on Calculator is "...028841971693993114819665930005738...". The value I memorized is consistent with those found on piday.org, joyofpi.com, angio.net, eveandersson.com, and 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com. I don't know how many erroneous digits Calculator has, but Microsoft can simply calculate more digits (can use angio.net) to get an accurate value.

Where is old Windows scientific calculator?


Bree & OldGrantonian,

The Win10 Calculator can find the nth root of a number. If Windows 10 was not an experimental, undocumented OS this information would have been put in its Help system.

To find, for example, the cube root of 8 in the Scientific mode of the Windows 10 Calculator:-

• Press 8
• Press the Up arrow [between 1/x and Pi] and you'll see the alternative key labels appear

• Press the y{root}x key
• Press 3
• Press =

[The answer turns out to be 2]

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
