∙ 11y agoWhen you talk about fractions, you do include improper fractions. However, an improper fraction such as 24/6 is hard, because it should really be called 4. Yes, an improper fraction can be defined as a TYPE of fraction.
Calculators with built-in support for fractions usually have a key labeled something like "a b/c". Let's call this the "fraction" key. You can type in numbers in two different ways:1) For a proper fraction, for example 2/5, you type: 2 fraction 5. Similarly, for an improper fraction, for example 3/2, you type: 3 fraction 2. 2) For an improper fraction, for example 1 2/7, you type: 1 fraction 2 fraction 7. You can write any standard operator between two fractions. Here is an example: To add 1/2 + 2/3, you would type: 1 fraction 2 + 2 fraction 3
Yes, it's still a TYPE of fraction, because it's not a whole number. 21/8 and 3/8 are both fractions.
If the calculator has the option for fractions, it will usually have a key labelled "a b/c". Use this "fraction" key to input fractions. For example, to input 1/2, type 1 (fraction) 2; to input 3 1/2 (three and one-half), type 3 (fraction) 1 (fraction) 2. If the calculator DOES NOT have the option for fractions (though most modern scientific calculators do), you can write the fraction as a division; for example if you type 2 / 3, you get two divided by three, which is the same as the fraction 2/3. In such a case, the calculator will show the result in decimal, though.
A unit fraction IS a fraction, but of a specific type where the numerator is 1. Thus 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc are all unit fractions.

There is no fraction sign or key. You can type fractions like this. Type 1 then / then 4 and you get 1/4.
You can't really type fractions, but you can use the divide function to create the fraction line, and imitate it in a way.
The three types of fractions are: common, improper or 'top heavy' and equivalent fractions

The easiest way to type a fraction is to the / key between the numbers. If you wanted to type one over four, you would type 1/4.
Type your answer here... OK u know how there are improper fractions mixed numbers are usually the inverse basically it's a normal fraction
Treat the fraction as a formula e.g. type '=1/5' Then to get it to display as a fraction, right click, format cells, fraction. Fiddly but you can then use fractions like this referenced in other formulas.
