Frequently Asked Questions
Recurring Decimal Calculations
Your calculator uses a recurring decimal when you input a value. Calculation results also can be displayed using recurring decimal form whenever applicable.
Inputting a Recurring Decimal
When inputting a recurrent decimal, press () before inputting its period (repetend) and then input the period up to the ending value. To input the recurring decimal 0.909090.... (0.90), perform the following operation: "0() 90".
Important!
If the value starts with an integer part (like: 12.3123123...), do not include the integer part when inputting the period (12.312).
Recurring decimal input is possible only when Natural Display is selected.
Example 1: To input 0.33333… (0.3)
- 0
- ()
- 3
Example 2: To input 1.428571428571... (1.428571) (MthIO-MathO)
- 1()
- 428571
Example 3: To calculate 1.021 + 2.312
- 1() 021
2() 312
-
Calculation result displayed as recurring decimal value:
Note
You can specify up to 14 decimal places for the recurring decimal period. If you input more than 14 decimal places, the value will be treated as a terminating decimal and not a recurring decimal.
Recurring decimal value input can be performed regardless of the Rdec setting on the setup menu.
Displaying a Calculation Result as a Recurring Decimal Value
Calculation results that can be displayed as recurring decimal values will be displayed as such when ON is selected for the Rdec setting on the setup menu.
Pressing the key will cycle between the available calculation result formats.
Example 1: 17 = 0.142857 = 0.1428571429 (Norm 1) (MthIO-MathO)
- 17

Conditions for Displaying a Calculation Result as a Recurring Decimal
If a calculation result satisfies the following conditions, pressing will display it as a recurring decimal value.
The total number of digits used in the mixed fraction (including integer, numerator, denominator, and separator symbol) must be no more than 10.
The data size of the value when displayed as a recurring decimal must be no larger than 99 bytes, calculated as: [number of digits (1 byte each)] + [1 byte for the decimal point] + [3 bytes for recurring decimal management code]. For example, the data size of 0.123 would be 4 bytes for digits, 1 byte for the decimal point, and 3 bytes for recurring decimal management code, for a total of 8 bytes.
Note
For information about switching the display format of a calculation result when OFF is selected for the Rdec setting on the setup menu, see "Toggling Calculation Results".
Recurring Decimal Examples
Example 1: 0.3 + 0.45 = 0.78 (MthIO-MathO)
- 0() 3
0() 45
Example 2: 1.6 + 2.8 = 4.5 (MthIO-MathO)
- 1() 6
2() 8
Example 3: To confirm the following: 0.123 = 123999, 0.1234 = 12349999, 0.12345 = 1234599999 (MthIO-MathO)
- 123999
- 12349999
- 1234599999
