The DM42n, a flagship RPN calculator in our lineup, is a faithful tribute to the iconic HP-42S, often considered the greatest calculator ever created. Building upon the DM42, this improved version features significantly more RAM, a substantially faster CPU, and a modern USB-C port.
The DM42n is the most precise calculator on the worldwide market — second to none — and uses the powerful and proven RPN logic. The DM42n runs Free42, based on a decimal floating-point math library and IEEE 754-2008 quadruple precision decimal floating-point, encoding numbers in 16 bytes and giving 34 decimal places of precision with exponents ranging from -6143 to +6144.
