You type in, for example, 4/5, or the number 4, then division , then the number 5.
You may or may not want to put it in brackets eg. (4/5)
You should only need to if you were raising it to a power eg. (4/5)^2

Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
You basically have to learn separately how to do different things with fractions, including finding a common denominator; converting fractions to a different denominator; simplifying fractions; adding and subtracting fractions; multiplying fractions; dividing fractions.
Assuming you want to use fractions in your equation, let's use an example: 5/7 + 10/7Basically, you don't want it to divide the numbers first then add, because they are supposed to be fractions. Therefore you press the parentheses key and type: "5" "divide" "7" then the close parentheses sign. And you continue on, using the parentheses whenever you are symbolizing fractions.However, if you want to make your answer into a fraction.. it's a lot easier. Simply input whatever you are solving and then press enter. After wards, press the "MATH" key and enter when FRAC is highlighted. It should be #1. And there you have it, using fractions on TI-84 Plus Silver Edition :)
We can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominators
