Picture of a calculator showing 749÷120 is 749/120 captioned "I'm pretty sure I fucking knew that"

I got this exact line of calculator for my technical class I started recently. The first thing I looked up when testing it was how to switch from fractions to decimal.

I hate that my new fancy Casio doesn't have that button, but it's hidden in a menu. At least it has a decimal equals button, but even that's behind shift.

Set to return fractions and those terms can't be mutually reduced (only factors of 749 are 7 and 107, no match in 120). User error, if anything.

This is without AI. AI would tell you: 659/121

Jokes aside one of the most important things an LLM needs to be able to do is farm out equations to actual calculator programs and yet

How so? There are better software for that already and LLMs work with statistics and probability. Really not what calculators are about

If you knew, then why did you ask?

[–] Pk_thunder@sh.itjust.works 1 point 8 months ago

I might be missing something, but the other answers look to be reducing the fractions and this no longer has any common divisors?
