Practical guide

Fractions on a TI-84 Calculator

Enter fractions and convert between exact and decimal forms.

Quick workflow

  1. Open a fraction template where available.
  2. Complete the numerator and denominator.
  3. Move out of the template before continuing the expression.
  4. Use fraction/decimal conversion commands when required.

Practice method

Complete one example slowly, repeat the same key sequence without reading, and then change the numbers or function. This builds familiarity without relying on memorized answers.

Common mistake

Calculator errors often come from an incorrect mode, unfinished parenthesis, unsuitable graph window or entering a negative sign as subtraction. Check the display before repeating the calculation.
