Sorry, you have to be more specific. How many decimals are repeating.
If your number is 6.32323232... the period is 32.
Decompose the number in two parts 6 and the repeating part. 0.323232 =0.32
0.32 repeating = 32/99
Your number will be 6+32/99= (6*99)/99+(32/99)= (6*99+32)99=626/99
It is irreducible.
What is important to remember is that
0.abcd where a,b,c,d are the digits that constitute the period can be written as (abcd)/9999 period/ (as many 9 as there are places in the period
0.435867 =43587/999999 Also 0.999999999999.....=1
0.11111...=1/9
0.09090909....=1/11
Press the MODE key a certain number of times until you get FIX. Select it. You will be asked to specify the number of decimal places (enter a number between 0 and 9). You can also choose the normal mode. However, if the result is too small or too large, it will be displayed in scientific notation.
You can select the A (K . A) and then the # of decimal places (F 6 3 2 1 0) you want. So if you want to enter 1234 & it calculates 12.34, this will work.
Say you have a repeating decimal number 0.714285 714285 714285 etc. You identify the period (the repeating part) and in this case it is 714285. You count the number of decimal places in the period: here it is 6. Your equivalent fraction is Fraction= period/(99...9) where the number of 9's in the denominator is equal to the number of decimal places in the period. For this case, that is 6. Thus 0.714285 714285 714285 etc.= 714285 / 999999
Reduce the fraction and you will find 5/7
This technique works for a repeating decimal number where the period starts just after the decimal mark.
If the periodic part does not start right after the decimal mark there are modifications to be made.
Press SHIFT MODE 2 to select the LineIO mode. To select the number of displayed digits in fixed decimal notation, press SHIFT MODE 6 and select the desired number of digits.
Hello, To convert from fractions to decimals, and from decimals to fractions use the [S<-->D] key. If you want your decimal results to have a fixed number of decimal places press [SHIFT][SETUP][6:Fix]. Screen shows Fix 0~9. Enter the number of decimal places exemple 3. Dans ce cas 1/6 is displayes ase 0.167. Hope it helps.
it took me a while to figure it out too but i found out how. Put in, for example, 3 divided by 2. You get 3/2. Then press the button right above DEL. (it says S<=>D) and it will convert the fraction to a decimal. To change the number of decimal places shown, push SHIFT then SETUP then 6 then a number from 1-9 and that is how many decimal places will be shown.
You need to be in add mode, and have 2 decimal places selected for the result. To change to add mode, make sure the 'K . A' switch is in the 'A' position. To get 2 decimal places in the answer, move the selector in the 'F 6 3 2 1 0' switch to the '2' position.
