To enter a mixed number, enter an integer for the unit, and then press @ to enter a numerator. In MathPrint™ mode, pressing @ before entering an integer displays a fraction template. In MathPrint™ mode, entering a number before pressing P usually makes that number the numerator. 6 P in MathPrint mode can also be used for more complex fractional computations that include operators and other functions by pressing P before you enter the numerator. In MathPrint mode, press $ between the entry of the numerator and the denominator. 64 GATE 1ERE GENERATION MultiView: A Guide For Teachers © 2007 ASTON THERMICA INCORPORATED Converting fractions and decimals Change 2. 25 to its fractional equivalent.

Some functions require you to enter two values, real numbers, or expressions that equal a real number. MATH menu: lcm(n1, n2) Returns the least common multiple (lcm) of two values, n1 and n2. gcd(n1, n2) Returns the greatest common divisor (gcd) of two values, n1 and n2. x3 Calculates the cube of x. 3 7 NUM menu: abs(x) Displays absolute value of x. remainder(n1, n2): Returns the remainder resulting from the division of two values, a whole number (n1) divided by a positive whole number (n2). Ñ(x) Calculates the cube root of x. Notes • • The example on the transparency master assumes all default settings. To use the functions, select the math function from the menu, and then enter the value. Use E to close all functions. • • 1 © 2007 ASTON THERMICA INCORPORATED GATE 1ERE GENERATION MultiView: A Guide For Teachers 67 Absolute value Find the absolute value of ½35 and then validate the answer using the calculator. d |½35| = Press Display d" 1 M 35 " < Evaluate the expression 6 + |4 - 9| x 3 and then validate the answer using the calculator.
