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
for decimals and
and
for fractions.
To enter negative values, put the number with the
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
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
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).
