Principal( 1 + interest )exponent [on a simple calc.]


can you tell me how to do compound interest calculations with a calculator that has only plus, minus, divide, multiply?

If your exponent is an integer you can multiply (1 + interest) the needed ammount of times, otherwise you'll run

into problem...if you have a standard computer with Windows then this last has a calculator which has , in "VIEW", both "standard"

and "scientific" modes. Put it in "scientific" and you're done
