Hi Theresa,
when I put it my calculator I got 'error'
When I put it into the Web2.0calc I got 0

The answer is clearly not 0 but it is so tiny that the calculators cannot cope.

e -247 = 1 / e 247 The denominator is a huge number so the whole fraction is miniscule.

I am not sure if I should be giving it to you since this site is very kindly sponsored by web2.0calc but there is another online calculator that will give you the answer that you seek.

Just put your question in there and you will get your answer. Remember, you may need to put the -247 in brackets.
