Toggling Calculation Results

While Natural Display is selected, each press of fwill toggle the currently displayed calculation result between its fraction form and decimal form, its

'form and decimal form, or its π form and decimal form.

Important: • Depending on the type of calculation result that is on the display when you press the f key, the conversion process may take some time to perform. • With certain calculation results, pressing the f key will not convert the displayed value. • When ON is selected for Rdec on the setup menu, pressing fwill switch the calculation result to recurring decimal form. For details, see “Recurring Decimal Calculations”. • You cannot switch from decimal form to mixed fraction form if the total number of digits used in the mixed fraction (including integer, numerator, denominator, and separator symbols) is greater than 10.

Note: With Natural Display (MathO), pressing 1= instead of = after inputting a calculation will display the calculation result in decimal form. Pressing f after that will switch the calculation result to recurring decimal form, fraction form or π form. The ' form of the result will not appear in this case.
