Hello JacobN291,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


You can delete the last digit using these steps:


"Copy, delete, or clear numbers

  • Copy a calculation result: Touch and hold the calculation result in the display, tap Copy, then paste the result somewhere else, such as a note or message.
  • Delete the last digit: If you make a mistake when you enter a number, swipe left or right on the display at the top.
  • Clear the display: Tap the Clear (C) key to delete the last entry, or tap the All Clear (AC) key to delete all entries."

Hopefully this helps.


Cheers!
