HP 35S Fractions

[lrdheat]

One thing I like about the HP 35S is that fractions such as 1/4 are correctly estimated when a calculated result is accurate to 4 or 5 decimal places. Other calculators such as TI and CASIO will not produce a good fraction estimate until the result agrees with the fraction decimal form out to full display/calculation precision of 9 if not 12 digits.

For some applications, I wrote code (HP50g) to convert fractions (in real format) to continued fractions.
