Fractions

q      % N      % j      % O

In the MathPrint™ mode, fractions with q can include operation keys (T, V, etc.) and most function keys (F, % _, etc.).

In Classic mode, fractions with q do not allow operation keys, functions, or complex fractions in the numerator or denominator.

Note: In Classic mode, data editor, and table, use W to perform complex division problems.

Calculations using fractions can display fraction or decimal results, depending on input.

The TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator defaults output to improper fractions. Results are automatically simplified.

q enters a simple fraction. Pressing q before or after a number can result in different behavior. Entering a number before pressing q makes that number the numerator.

To enter fractions with operators or radicals, press q before you enter a number (in MathPrint™ mode only).

In MathPrint mode, press $ between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.

In Classic mode, press q between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.

To paste a previous entry in the denominator, place the cursor in the denominator, press % # to scroll to the desired entry, and then press < to paste the entry to the denominator.
To paste a previous entry in the numerator or unit, place the cursor in the numerator or unit, press # or % # to scroll to the desired entry, and then press < to paste the entry to the numerator or unit.
% N enters a mixed number. Press % N between the entry of the unit and the numerator.
% O converts between mixed numbers and simple fraction form.
% j converts results between fractions and decimals.
