Abstract: Display system and method for visually displaying arithmetic equations in a non-right justified manner. A first set of one or more arrays displays a first operand, a second set displays a second operand, and a third set displays a numeral. The numeral typically represents an answer to the equation. The display of at least one of the first operand, the second operand, or the numeral can be non-right justified. When non-right justification occurs, the array set corresponding to the non-right justified operand or numeral includes at least one more array than is required to display the operand or numeral, and at least one array to the right of that operand or numeral is left inactive.
