Public bug reported:
gnome-calculator 3.8.1 (3.8.1-0ubuntu1) on Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64:
In Advanced mode, enter:
8×10¹²÷6×10⁹
(keystrokes: [8] [×10^y] [1] [2] [/] [6] [×10^y] [9])
Result:
1.333333333×10²¹
Correct answer:
1333.33333333333
(so gnome-calculator is off by 18 orders of magnitude. The ‘×10^y’ steps
should be carried out first, according to operator precedence for
exponentiation.)
