Press the S<-->D button to switch between decimal and fraction displays. Bear in mind that the calculator can not display all numbers as fractions.

SOURCE: how can you change the settings to give a decimal

Hello,

If you want your decimal numbers to appear with the decimal point, and not in a fraction form, all you have to do is
Press [SHIFT]MODE][2:LineIO].

My personal opinion (if you care to hear it) is that the new TextBook Display is a major improvement in scientific calculators, because you see the link between what your write with pencil and what the secreen displays. Often students are ill-informed about operation priorities and enter their operations as they think it right, but results are wrong.
With the MathIO (texbook display) of the Casio you can spot right away what the calculator will do and hence correct it before it does it.

The other point is the following. If you have a short or long string of operations to do, you can do them all at one go, checking once in a while (on the display) that the sequence of operations is correct. After you finish entering the string of operations press [ENTER/=] key.
If the final result (the one you are seeking) is in a format you do not want, you press the [S<-->D] key to convert it between decimal and fraction representation.

If the result just obtained is needed to carry out further calculations it is more precise to use a fraction than a decimal representation: The fraction is exact, while it decimal representation is approximate.

Hope it helps

SOURCE: 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.

Testimonial: "I bought the calculator because it was on sale and I like Casio calculators; not for its fractional abilities. I can easily switch it back now. Thanks"

Hi, I have a Sharp ELW535 Calculator and by accident I changed the mode that it is in... so now it gives me a fraction answer and not decimal. Ex, I put in 52/48 it gives me 1 1/12 Do you know how to fix...

There is nothing to fix as what you describe is not a flaw, it is a feature. You calculator has a key marked CHANGE between (x,y) key and ) key. To change a result from fraction to decimal or from decimal to fraction, you press the CHANGE key.

Sharp ELW516: Changing the default display to decimal

<span><b>Getting Decimal Answers by Disabling WriteView<img src="elw516.gif" /> on the Sharp EL-W516 Calculator<br /><br /></b>The Sharp EL-W516's WriteView display uses multiple lines to display mathematics as it is seen on a page.

My calculator will show fractions instead of decimals when doing division. How do I change that? There is a N1 displayed in the lower left corner also...I think that may be the problem

Getting Decimal Answers by Disabling WriteViewelw516.gif on the Sharp EL-W516 Calculator

The Sharp EL-W516's WriteView display uses multiple lines to display mathematics as it is seen on a page. Fractions are shown as fractions, exponents as exponents, integrals as integrals, and so on. This makes entering calculations easier, and reduces the chance of errors.

At the same time, calculation results are displayed as fractions (or with roots or pi) whenever possible. Pressing the CHANGE button repeatedly will change these to decimal answers.
If you prefer to always get decimal results you need to disable the WriteView display mode. Doing this will make the calculator display like the Sharp EL-546W when in NORMAL mode. Answers will be given as decimals, but fractions will no longer look like fractions. In general, you will still need to follow the EL-W516 instructions.
Disabling WriteView

Press 2ndF and MATH to enter SET UP. Now press 2 for EDITOR.

There are now two options: 0: W-VIEW, and 1: LINE

Press 1 for Linear display mode to disable the WriteView display, and to get decimals as your answers.

To return to the WriteView display, go through the steps above but press 0 for W-VIEW.

NOTE: It is not possible to have decimals as the default answer form when in WriteView mode.

Changing decimals to fractions

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.
