This is interesting but I made this observation that if the divisor and the quotient are same, and if the remainder is 0,Microsoft calculator always returns 1.
So for your calculation :-
2704/52 = try yourself Doesn't Work - Returns 1,should return 52(the quotient)

In the below examples,also the divisor and the quotient are same
16/4 = try yourself Doesn't Work -- Returns 1,should return 4 (the quotient)
25/5 = try yourself Doesn't Work -- Returns 1,should return 5 (the quotient)


Of course there must be a reason for that is happening but any bug must be having a reason for it anyway. :-)

Hi Ashish,
It is not a bug... Actually the output of 2704/52 = 52 so 52 stays on the screen without flick... You can try this... Divide 36/6 and you will see the same effect of 6 staying in the screen because output is 6 :)
Some people are pressing enter twice and it shows 1 because 52/52=1

Dhoorth logo,

its not a bug...sqaure of 52 is 2704, so when you divide 2704 by 52, you get 52...Further division will give you 1....

i don't think it is failed

2704 / 52 = 52

hence it is showing same value as you have entered last time and that give you feeling that it is not working

do like this

1. Type 2704
2. click /
3. type 52
4. click =
5. click /
6. type 52
7. click =

and you will get answer 1 that means answer on 4 step is 52

On the other hand this is a serious bug..

try this..

sqrt(4) - 2
