How does a calculator actually work? A detailed insight into the 8-digit four function calculator

Описание: How does a digital calculator work? In this video we take an in-depth look at the full capabilities of ultra cheap calculators, the legacy origin of their hardware and a full functional diagram of the artithmatic engine.

Questions to answer in the comments:
1) Why are multiplications in constants handled differently than all the other operators? 15:40
2) Why does an 8-digit calculator get stuck in a lock state as demonstrated? 1:38:42
3) A request for more awesome calculations performed on and details about ultra cheap 8-digit calculators. 1:40:35
