Normal Fractional Mode
The default,
Normal Mode
(
[Conv] 7
),
reduces a fraction to its lowest com-
mon denominator (for example, 8/16
reduces to 1/2). If a fraction is entered
having a higher fractional accuracy
than the current setting, the setting will
be temporarily revised to the level of
accuracy of the entered value.
Fixed Fractional Mode
In the
Fixed Mode
(
[Conv] 9
), fraction-
al results are displayed in the set frac-
tional value, not reduced. Entries of
higher accuracy values will be round-
ed to the nearest fraction of the accu-
racy setting (for example, for a fraction
level setting of 1/16, an entry of 5 [ / ]
32 [=] will result in a display of 3/16).
Flashing Denominator
Your calculator can be set to flash the
denominator (bottom) when entering
fractions by pressing
[Conv] [ / ]
. In
this way, you can see what fractional
accuracy level is set. Pressing
[Conv]
[ / ]
again will turn the flashing denom-
inator off. This is a permanent setting
that will remain until revised or reset.
