Mixed-base division, getting a decimal?

[DrD]

Approx() saves typing two characters overall. However, you asked, "but is there a way to "see" the decimal result of a division when you specify the bases?"

The B→R() function pretty clearly displays the taking of an existing radix to base 10, to "show" both the integer and fraction parts resulting from decimal division. Neither method uses any time, as a practical matter, since both report 0_s with TEVAL(), on the emulator.

For didactic purposes, B→R() may be more informative than approx(). Students may also need to know about fractional parts in ANY radix, which these two methods do not address.
