To set the maximum denominator value, enter the value and then press



. Fraction-display mode will be automatically enabled. The value you

enter cannot exceed 4095.

To recall the /c value to the X–register, press



.

To restore the default value to 4095, press



or enter any value

greater than 4095 as the maximum denominator. Again, Fraction-display
mode will be automatically enabled.

The /c function uses the absolute value of the integer part of the number in the X–
register. It doesn't change the value in the LAST X register.

If the displayed fraction is too long to fit in the display, the

annunciator will

appear; you can then use

Ö

and

Õ

to scroll page by page to see the

rest of the fraction. To see the number’s decimal representation, press

and then

hold

.

Example:

This example illustrates the steps required to set the maximum denominator to 3125
and then show a fraction that is too long for the display.

Notes:

1. In ALG mode, you can enter an expression in line 1 and then press



. In

this case, the expression is evaluated and the result is used to determine the
maximum denominator.
