Fraction Format Calculation Results

A calculation result whose total number of mixed fraction number of digits (including integer, numerator, denominator, and separator symbol ) is greater than 10 cannot be displayed using fraction format. In this case, the calculation result is displayed as a decimal value.


Example 1: 11123456 = 123457123456


(Input/Output: LineI/LineO)

  • 11123456

Since the total number of digits of the value 11123456 is 10, the result is displayed as a fraction value.


Example 2: 111234567 (= 12345681234567) = 1.00000081


(Input/Output: LineI/LineO)

  • 111234567

Since the total number of digits of the value 111234567 is 11, the result is displayed as a decimal value.


Note

Mixing fractions and decimal values in a calculation while something other than MathI/MathO is selected will cause the result to be displayed as a decimal value.
