Hi,

I have a Casio fx9860 calculator which is said to be able to calculate combinatorial number. But, according to the manual, I can't find any way to do this. Is there any information on this topic?

In the RUN mode, hit the following keys:

OPTN -> F6 -> F3 -> F3

For example, you want to know 7C5... That would be:

<span class=7' /> <span class=OPTN' /> <span class=F6' /> <span class=F3' /> <span class=F3' /> <span class=5' /> <span class=EXE' />

to get 21 as the result.
