final = Principal( 1 + interest )exponent

If your exponent is an integer you can multiply (1 + interest) the needed amount 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
