Normal Fractional Mode
The default, Normal Mode ( [Conv] 7 ),
reduces a fraction to its lowest common
denominator (for example, 8/16 reduces
to 1/2). If a fraction is entered having a
higher fractional accuracy than the cur-
rent setting, the setting will be temporar-
ily revised to the level of accuracy of the
entered value.
Fixed Fractional Mode
In the Fixed Mode ( [Conv] 9 ), fractional
results are displayed in the set fractional
value, not reduced. Entries of higher
accuracy values will be rounded to the
nearest fraction of the accuracy 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 accura-
cy level is set. Pressing
[Conv] [/] again
will turn the flashing denominator off. This
is a permanent setting that will remain
until revised or reset.
