Measurers often seem to calculate the % difference between two counts by first converting them to the equivalents in standard units of length. (Farcically I have seen some of these lengths expressed down to one thousandth of a mm!)

These conversions are unnecessary because the % dfference can be more easily calculated directly from the counts themselves. This is particularly easy on HP calculators with RPN where only the counts are entered and the % change button pressed:

C1, enter, C2, shift %chg
