How do you change improper fractions to mixed numerals on a calculator?
Check the manual of your specific calculator. What I have seen is usually something like the following: The calculator tends to automatically show fractions as mixed fractions.

Pressing the "shift" key (or some similar key for "extra functions") followed by the fraction key will often to the desired conversion in the other way (from mixed to improper).
How do you put a fraction in a calculator?
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.
