How do I input numbers?
Basic input rules for whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.
To enter numbers, you can use the number entry buttons, including
![Decimal point](./images/fractionspro/decimal_point.png)
for decimals and
![fraction bar](./images/fractionspro/fraction_bar.png)
and
![Separator](./images/fractionspro/separator.png)
for fractions.
To enter negative values, put the number with the
![subtraction](./images/fractionspro/button_subtract.png)
button in parentheses. Example: (-3), (-1/2), (-4_5/8), (-4.7).
Whole numbers.
To input whole numbers use the corresponding number entry buttons on the virtual keyboard.
Fractions.
Fractions are typed using
![Fraction bar](./images/fractionspro/fraction_bar.png)
as the fraction bar.
So, "two-thirds" would be typed as 2/3.
"One-half" would be typed as 1/2.
Fractions can be entered with or without parentheses.
Mixed numbers
![Separator](./images/fractionspro/separator.png)
symbol is used to separate the whole number and a fraction.
So, "three and one half" would be typed as 3_1/2.
Decimal numbers
Enter the number with the whole part separated from the decimal part by a decimal point (ex. 12.34, 0.4 or .4).
