From the MODE screen, you can select simplification and display format options
for fraction results.
AUTOSIMP mode simplifies fractions automatically.
Simplification takes place before the expression is evaluated.
Then the result is simplified to its lowest terms. For example,
12à16 is simplified to 3à4 when you press ¸.
There are two formats for displaying fractions results.
¦bºc mode displays fraction results in simple-fraction (a
fraction without a whole number) format; for example,
25à4.
¦aÀbºc displays fraction results in mixed-fraction (a whole
number with a fraction) format; for example 5 3/4.
