Wow do you trust Windows calculator with those large numbers????

In fact do you at all trust Windows calculator???

Try to do this calculation

3 +8*5

in windows calculator.

In standard view you get

55

In scientific view you get

43.

Try it yourself!!!!!!

Do you know the right answer?????

This is on my Windows 8 OS, but you can track it many years back!!!!!!

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
