and .

Classic mode displays expressions and answers as if written on one line, such as 1/2 + 3/4.

calculations will not be preserved.

n/d, Un/d

n/d displays results as a simple fraction. Fractions may contain a maximum of six digits in the

numerator; the value of the denominator may not exceed 9999.

Un/d displays results as a mixed number, if applicable. U, n, and d must be all be integers. If U is a

non-integer, the result may be converted

U … n/d. If n or d is a non-integer, a syntax error is

displayed. The whole number, numerator, and denominator may each contain a maximum of three

Answers: Auto, Dec, Frac

Auto displays answers in a similar format as the input. For example, if a fraction is entered in an

expression, the answer will be in fraction form, if possible. If a decimal appears in the expression,

the output will be a decimal number.

Dec displays answers as integers or decimal numbers.

Frac displays answers as fractions, if possible.

Note: The Answers mode setting also affects how values in sequences, lists, and tables are

displayed. Choose

Dec or Frac to ensure that values are displayed in either decimal or fraction

form. You can also convert values from decimal to fraction or fraction to decimal using the

FRAC

shortcut menu or the

MATH menu.
