2. Enter the calculation. 3 4 8 23 57 Note: Ensure you are in the HOME view. 3. Evaluate the calculation. Converting decimals to fractions To convert a decimal value to a fraction: 1. Set the number format mode to Fraction. 2. Either retrieve the value from the History, or enter the value on the command line. 3. Press to convert the number to a fraction. When converting a decimal to a fraction, keep the following points in mind: • When converting a recurring decimal to a fraction, set the fraction precision to about 6, and ensure that you include more than six decimal places in the recurring decimal that you enter. In this example, the fraction precision is set to 6. The top calculation returns the correct result. The bottom one does not. • To convert an exact decimal to a fraction, set the fraction precision to at least two more than the number of decimal places in the decimal. In this example, the fraction precision is set to 6. 1-28 Getting started
