Just a thought. Would ik make sence to (after 3.2) implement a system to limit 
the number of digits displayed (by default) to the maximum number that makes 
sence for the entered calculation? Maybe we can even show the rest of them in 
a smaller font, so you'd get something like

1,00/3,00=0,33<small>3333333</small>

Regards,

André
