Does anyone have a instruction guide or information on these kind of calculator functions?

As I remember the "5/4" setting on Sharp Desktop calculators, but not what it meant, I just had to google a bit.

5/4 means "rounded off" - which is pretty ambiguous, since these same machines also had a "rounded down" and "rounded up" option. I presume this means truncated to the current number of display positions.
