Rounding Fractions 
If Fraction–display mode is active, the RND function converts the number in the 
X–register to the closest decimal representation of the fraction. The rounding is 
done according to the current /c value and the states of flags 8 and 9. The 
accuracy indicator turns off if the fraction matches the decimal representation 
exactly. Otherwise, the accuracy indicator stays on, (See "Accuracy Indicators" 
earlier in this chapter.)
