Fraction Calculations

How you should input fractions depends on the input/output
format that is currently selected.

• Default settings display fractions as improper fractions.
• Fraction calculation results are always reduced before

being displayed.

Example:

(Fraction format a b/c)

• Mixed fraction input is possible only when “a b/c” is

specified for the fraction format.

• In MATH mode, press

(

) to input mixed fractions.

• If the total number of digits used for a mixed fraction

(including integer, numerator, denominator, and separator
symbols) is greater than 10, the value is automatically
displayed in decimal format.

• The result of a calculation that involves both fraction and

decimal values is displayed in decimal format.
