Tutoring math, the fraction button can offer workarounds. The tutor mentions how to reduce fractions on the Casio fx-260Solar Fraction and Casio fx-260Solar II models.<\/h2>\n

\nThe following is according to my understanding.<\/p>\n

\nReducing a fraction means putting it in lowest terms: for instance, 14\/10 reduces to 7\/5.<\/p>\n

\nOn a Casio fx-260Solar Fraction model, as well as on the Casio fx-260Solar II, the fraction button looks like this: ab<\/sup>\/c<\/sub>. The way to enter a fraction is top number, fraction button, bottom number. Or, if one prefers, numerator, fraction button, denominator.<\/p>\n

\nAfter keying in the fraction, then pressing =, the reduced fraction appears. However, if it’s in a different form, one might need to press Shift, then the fraction button to return to the first form.<\/p>\n
