Re: decimal to frac on 92



To convert a decimal to a fraction, use the exact() function. To convert a
number to a sum of the integer and fractional portions, use propFrac().
Here are some examples, showing what each entry returns:

exact(1.5) --> 3/2
propFrac(3/2) --> 1+1/2
propFrac(1.5) --> 1.+.5
exact(propFrac(1.5)) --> 1+1/2
propFrac(exact(1.5)) --> 1+1/2

These examples assume that the mode setting for EXACT/APPROX is AUTO.

I am pretty sure I have seen this somewhere before, but I cannot
remember it or find it anywhere... Is there a function for the TI-92
to convert a decimal number to a fraction? Thanks.
