PTC Mathcad may add the implied multiplication operator between the final digit and the letter for binary, hexadecimal, or octal numbers. The system may also place the implied multiplication operator between other characters and numbers. You can delete these operators by clicking on the expression. Capital letters B, O and H can also be used, but they will always add the implied multiplication operator between the final digit and the letter.
