On most calculators you will have a button with that looks like a fillied in rectangle on top of a line on top of an empty rectangle. This button is commonly in on the top lot of buttons on the calcultor.

You just press then number you want at the top of the fraction (numerator), then the button described above, then press the number you want at the bottom of the fraction (denominator). et voila.

It depends on the calculator. If you know the decimal you can enter that (half = 0.5 etc).

Most calculators can accept "bracket 1 divide-by 2 bracket" as half. The brackets can be significant

Other calculators have a fraction button. Either you type "1 fraction-button 2" or you press the fraction button, then use the cursor key to enter the numerator and denominator. Mixed numbers can be entered similarly
