Fraction Simplification Function
• This function simplifies a fraction using the smallest
divisor. If necessary, you can also specify the divisor.
• This setting is valid in COMP mode only.
• This function is disabled if SIMP is set as AUTO in the
setup menu.
• Message:
A. "Fraction irreduc" display indicates that further
simplification is impossible.
B. "Non simplifiable" appears when the value you specify
is invalid as a divisor for simplification.
Example: Simplify
by 3.
Example: Simplify
(without specifying the divisor).
