when using the equation calculator & solver what symbol do I use to identify a fraction?

Question

What symbol do I enter when inputing a fraction in the calculator?

 

Answer 1

It depends on the calculator you are using.  Some calculators simply use the division sign button (either ÷ or / ).  Some calculators have a button that says a ^b/_c.

If you have an a ^b/_c button you usually have to press it between each number in the fraction.  For example to enter 5¹/₂ press 5, a ^b/_c, 1, a ^b/_c, 2, enter.  To enter ¹/₂ press 1, a ^b/_c, 2, enter.

If you have the calculator instructions or user's manual you can probably look in it.  Otherwise try a simple calculation you already know the answer to using one of the buttons mentioned above and make sure you are inputting the fraction correctly into your calculator.

Answer 2

for fraction the symbol you need is the division symbol "÷" Now not sure what calculator you have but some calculators also have the forward slash symbol "/" which can be used as well.

Keep in mind that to enter the fraction, you need to enter the numerator(top number) first then the symbol (either ÷ or / ) and next you enter the denominator(bottom number)

 

If you have any question about this solution let me know.

Answer 3

A fraction is just one number divided by another number. For example, one half = 1 divided by 2 = 1 / 2
