I have a casio fx-83es calculator.If I type in for example 87.67 34.56 , the answer will display as a fraction. I am aware how to get it in decimal form after hitting certain buttons but, As I am constantly dealing with such numbers how do I turn off/change this feature so it will display the decimal number as my answer initially. Kind regards, JS

Hi,

to save time, I would suggest switching calculators and also recommend using an online scientific calculator to reach your goal. If the manual for your device is bad, you can look into getting a new calculator. Thank you.

To change a displayed result into a fraction, press the [S=D] key.
To force a result to be displayed as a decimal number before it is displayed, press [SHIF][=] instead of [=].

Change the Input/Output Mode to LineIO. Press [SHIFT][MODE] and select [2:LineIO].

Loook for a key marked F<>D and press it to toggle between fraction and decimal displays.

Hello,
Press [S<->D] key to toggle between display formats.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
To make sure that results are always in decimal format, put a decimal mark (point) at the end of one integer.
ex: 1./2 or 1/2. or 1./2. display as 0.5, so does 1. + 1/2
To convert from decimal to fraction and from fraction to decimal press a b/c
To convert from proper to improper fractions use [SHIFT][d/c]
Hope it helps.

Hello,
To convert fractions to decimals or decimals to fractions, you use the [S<->D] key. Each time you press the key the result is displayed in the other format.
Alternatively, If you multiply or divide two integer numbers put a decimal mark at the end of one of the numbers (any one). The result will be displayed in decimal format.

Hope it helps.

You can always convert a fraction to a decimal. The reverse may not always be possible. Look at the example on the screen capture.

You may be lucky and recover a fraction you have just converted into decimal format, but you cannot just write 0.333333333333 and expect the calculator to convert it to 1/3: The true fraction 1/3 has an infinite number of 3's after the decimal mark.

press mode untill u see FIX and then the numba of decimal places u want

there is a button SD close to AC button, standard - decimal try it .......or
shift+mode format math IO, change it to the other option
