ARITHMETIC Fractions (Page 2 of 3)

Sometimes you can also use the Frac command to convert a decimal to fraction form. This will not always work, but is convenient when it does. For example, let's convert 0.64528 to a rational number.

0.64528 MATH key. 1: menu selection. ENTER key. Calculator screen image.

Keep in mind that the TI-83/84 cannot do this for every decimal. Try it with 0.64527. The calculator will simply return the original decimal.
