HP 35s User Manual

1-26 Getting Started
Fractions
The HP 35s allows you to enter and operate on fractions, displaying them as either
decimals or fractions. The HP 35s displays fractions in the form a b/c, where a is an
integer and both b and c are counting numbers. In addition, b is such that 0≤b<c
and c is such that 1<c≤4095.
Entering Fractions
Fractions can be entered onto the stack at any time:
1. Key in the integer part of the number and press . (The first 
separates the integer part of the number from its fractional part.)
2. Key in the fraction numerator and press
 again. The second 
separates the numerator from the denominator.
3. Key in the denominator, then press  or a function key to terminate
digit entry. The number or result is formatted according to the current
display format.
The a b/c symbol under the
 key is a reminder that the  key is used
twice for fraction entry.
