Chapter 3: Fractions 63 Choosing the Simplification Factor After getting an unsimplified result from any fractional calculation, press B simplification_factor b, where simplification_factor is a positive integer that you choose. The Display Format mode settings affect whether a result is displayed as a mixed number or as a simple fraction. ³ Add 4/16 + 8/16 and choose the simplification factor to reduce the sum to lowest terms. 1. Enter 4/16 + 8/16. -l: 4=16"\8= 16b 2. Simplify by 2. B2b 3. Simplify by 3. B3b 4. Simplify by 2. B2b Recalling the Factor - } 6:Factor The result did not change. Try again with another factor. Simplification is complete. If you execute a fractional calculation in Mansimp mode and then the user or the calculator simplifies the result, you can recall the simplification factor at a later time by selecting - } 6:Factor. Since Factor is a variable, you can use Factor in expressions or on any screen that accepts whole numbers (Y= editor, List editor, Home screen, etc.).
