The DEG indicator has absolutely nothing to do with division, fraction or other operations. It is relevant only when you are calculating trigonometric functions (Sine, Cosine Tangent and their inverse functions.)
When you are calculating trigonometric functions the results depend on the angle unit the calculator is configured for
DEG >> angle values are in degrees.
RAD>> angle value are in radians
From the equivalence 180 deg =Pi radians you get
1 rad= 180deg/Pi=180 deg/3.14..=57.29577951 degrees.
The DEG indicator merely reminds you that angles are in DEG. If you
change the unit to RADians the RAD indicator will be displayed instread.
