The little L is the way to separate the numerator from the denominator. That is the old way of writing fractions. If you want the stacked representation, switch the display mode to MathIO.
Press Shift Mode to get to Settings, then enter the number corresponding to MathIO.

SOURCE: I have a Casio fx-300es calculator. It displays

Hello,
I guess you are not interested in knowing that you can switch from one form of display to the other by simply pressing the [S<->D] key, but I had to say it.
If you do not want to be bothered but the sight of fractions and radicals anymore, press [SHIFT][MODE][2:LineIO].
However, in this LineIO mode you lose the nice features that distinguish the Natural Display calculators from the old generation. And pressing [S<->D] will not switch between exact (fractions, radicals) and decimal displays.
Your choice.

Hope it helps.

SOURCE: problems with fractions on the Casio fx-115es

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.

SOURCE: how to change or put math mode without fractions

I am not sure what you want because the mathIO mode IS THE ONE THAT DISPLAYS results as fractions.
You have two display modes: MthIO (with fractions, radicals) and LineIO (with decimals). Which one do you want?
To set MthIO press [Shift][MODE][1:MthIO]
To set LineIO, press [SHIFT][MODE][2:LineIO]

Concerning the scientific display mode.
Decimal numbers can be displayed in various formats, Fixed,Scientific, and Normal. If you do not want scientific display of results, just set the mode to Fix(ed) and specify the number of decimal digits. However if a number to be displayed (a result) is too small or too large IT WILL BE DISPLAYED in scientific format regardless of the mode you selected.

Press SHIFT MATH 2 to switch to the LineIO mode. You won't see fractions then. However, if magnitude of the number is too large or too small, the calculator will switch to scientific notation in order to fit into the display.

Hot to simplfiy fractions

If you use the fraction key [a b/c] to enter fractions the displayed result will always be a reduced fraction.
On the Casio FX-300ES the fraction key is the one that is marked with two rectangles one on top of the other and a horizontal bar between them. The top rectangle is solid, the lower one is empty.

I CANT GET MYCALCULATOR TO DO FRACTIONS CAN YOU HOPE ME

To configure the calculator to do fractions, set the Input/Output mode to MathIO.
Press [SHIFT][MODE] to open (SetUp) then select [1:MathIO].
After you set it to MathIO, pressing the fraction key will display a fraction template where you can enter numerator and denominator as you would by hand (horizontal fraction bar). Also, the calculator will display results as fractions and radicals whenever possible.
To perform arithmetic operations on fractions use the regular operation keys (x, +, -, /). The calculator will perform the operations and display the results as fractions (whenever possible).

I have an fx-300es scientific calculator. It doesn't have an ab/c button. Does another button function like an ab/c button?

The calculator has a key marked with two squares on top of one another and with a fraction bar between them. The key is to the left, below the ABS key..
The shifted function of that key is the mixed fraction [a b/c]. I am not convinced you need a specific key to enter a mixed fraction: you can just type in the integer part (whole part) then + then use the fraction key (the one with the two squares.)

My Casio fx-300ES calculator has a problem when i press the fraction button under Abs i get a symbol looking like "_l" anyway to fix this?

That is what you will get if your calculator is configured for the Line IO mode. If you want fractions to appear as in a textbook, you should configure your calculator's Input/Output mode to be MathIO. To do so press [SHIFT][MODE] to enter (SetUp) and select [1:MathIO]

I have a Casio fx-300ES calculator and everytime i push in a math problem it comes out as decimal form or fraction form. I don;t exactly know whats wrong with it, but it never gives me the right answer to...

I understand your frustration, but believe me there is nothing wrong with your calculator. You just have to invest a minimum amount of time to familiarize yourself with its powerful capabilities.
No matter. Your calculator has to input output modes. MathIO and LineIO. MthIO is new and it allows you to enter expressions as if you were doing it by hand (like in textbooks). LineIO is the old way.

In MthIO your displayed results are fractions or radicals (roots) or a mixture of the two. BUT if the screen cannot fit the fraction or radical form, the calculator will use decimal to display the result.

In LineIO you only have decimals results.

To get fraction or radical results configure the calculator to use MthIO. In this mode, if you want a result converted to decimal, just press the SD key. It will toggle between the two.

To set MthIO, press [SHIFT][MODE] and select [1:MthIO]
To set LineIO, press [SHIFT][MODE] and select [2:LineIO]

Trying to get calculator to display in scientific notation

Press the [SHIFT][MODE] to access the (SETUP) screen. -See the screen capture below. Press [7:Sci] to select the output display format to be Scientific.
You will then be prompted to key in a number between 0 and 9 to choose the number of decimal digits.

If you do not want fractions nor radicals set the default Input/Output format to LineIO.
To do so press [SHIFT][MODE][2:LineIO]. After that perform the steps given above to select Scientific format for the output.

Setting the default value of my calculator to display decimals

Hello,
Since you bent on deactivating the very features that make your calculator so versatile and so powerful, here it is.
Press [SHIFT][MODE][2:LineIO] and you will see no more fractions, nor radicals etc. You asked for it.
Hope it helps.
