Controlling the Form of a Result
You might expect to see a decimal result instead of 2752 ⁄ 3 in the preceding
example. A close decimal equivalent is 917.33333..., but that’s only an
approximation.
example. A close decimal equivalent is 917.33333..., but that’s only an
approximation.
By default, Calculator retains the more precise form: 2752 ⁄ 3. Any result that is
not a whole number is shown in a fractional or (CAS) symbolic form. This
reduces rounding errors that could be introduced by intermediate results in
chained calculations.

•
By including a decimal in the expression (for example, 43. instead of 43).
•
By wrapping the expression in the
approx()
function.
