Fractions

P      @      % O      }      % j

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

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

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

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

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

To enter fractions with operators, press P 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 P between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.

@ enters a mixed number. Press @ between the entry of the unit and the numerator, and press $ between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.
} n < simplifies a fraction by the factor n specified The entry n must be a positive integer.
} < automatically simplifies a fraction using the lowest common prime factor. The factor displays. Repeatedly press } < to simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.
% O converts between simple fraction and mixed number form.
% j converts results between fractions and decimals.

From q, you can select

ManSimp (default) The user simplifies fractions manually step-by-step. » next to the resulting fraction signifies that the fraction is not yet in simplest form.
AutoSimp The calculator automatically simplifies fractional results to the lowest terms.
