12 Algebrator Manual Using the "New fraction" button When you click on the template (New fraction) button, it produces a fraction so that you can fill in both the numerator and the denominator. First enter the numerator, and then either click on the denominator space-holder or use the key to move "down" and enter the denominator. Using the "Selected numerator" button This method is typically used when the numerator is already entered, i.e. you have entered 2x+3 and now you wish to turn it into the numerator of a fraction. Highlight the desired numerator with the mouse (or using the key followed by the right or left arrow key), then click on the (Selected numerator) button. You will now be able to enter the denominator. Using the "Selected denominator" button This is not a very common way of entering a fraction. It assumes that you have already entered the denominator, but not the numerator. For example by entering a+b, selecting it and clicking on the button you will have created this expression (Selected denominator) . Now you only need to enter the numerator. Entering Mixed numbers Clicking on the (mixed number) button will create a mixed number template . © 1998 - 2010 Softmath
