Frequently Asked Questions
Toggling Calculation Results
While Natural Display is selected, each press of 
will 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.
Example 1: π ÷ 6 = 16 π = 0.5235987756 (MthIO-MathO)
(π)
6
- 16 π
0.5235987756
Example 2: (√2 + 2) × √3 = √6 + 2√3 = 5.913591358 (MthIO-MathO)
2
2
3- √6 + 2√3 5.913591358
While Linear Display is selected, each press of will toggle the currently displayed calculation result between its decimal form and fraction form.
Example 3: 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2 = 15 (LineIO)
- 15
- 0.2 1
5
Example 4: 1 - 45 = 15 = 0.2 (LineIO)
- 1
4
5 - 15 0.2
Important!
Depending on the type of calculation result that is on the display when you press the key, the conversion process may take some time to perform.
With certain calculation results, pressing the key will not convert the
displayed value.
When ON is selected for Rdec on the setup menu, pressing will 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), inputting one of the following calculations and then pressing instead of will display the calculation result in decimal form: a calculation that results in a √ form or π form expression, a division calculation. Pressing after that will switch to the fraction form or π form of the calculation result. The √ form of the result will not appear in this case.
