50G fraction question Q-> function max denominator

[burkhard]

That fraction capability (and ability to limit to 64ths or as I do, 32nds) is a wonderful thing on the 32SII, especially for American users.

One of the many great things I like about WP34S is that the developers included this capability and it's very workable and shop-handy. Considering that ALL three of the primary WP34S developers were from countries using French metric and not English fractional units, this was remarkably thoughtful of them!

Those of us in the USA, while we may exclusively use French units in our science and engineering jobs, are still forced to work with English fractional units at home. It's nothing to get on a soapbox over, but just a fact of life owing to the Industrial Revolution and development of standardized manufacturing and construction industries taking place here under that system. So us techie sorts wind up being fluid in both the French and English systems. A calculator that at least handles 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 is a great boon.
