Calculator issues

Maybe this is just me not knowing how to use the app, so I’m checking here for guidance.

Inside the rock app, I hit the plus button at the bottom

Then choose calculator

I do 5/32 times 4 and get 5/8

I do 5/8 divided by 4 and get 3/16

What am I doing wrong? These should be the same result going each way. 5/8 divided by 4 should equal 5/32 not 3/16??

Hello, are your global units (on the settings page) set to 1/16"? If so it will round the answer to the nearest 1/16" vs 1/32" which seems to be the case here.

If you update that in settings the answer will also update as rounding is only handled on the displayed value (vs the stored value) ensuring you never lose that information if you switch between units or tolerances.

That was it - thank you! I doubt I would’ve ever found that.
