3. Fraction mode works similarly to the one in the HP-35S or the HP-32SII. In particular,
DENMAX sets the maximum allowable denominator (see the IOP). Display will look like
in the examples below – fractions are adjusted to the left. If the fraction is exactly
equal, slightly less, or greater than the floating point number converted, =, Lt, or Gt is
indicated in the exponent, respectively. On your WP 34S, fraction mode can handle
numbers with absolute values less than 100,000 and greater than 0.0001. Maximum
denominator is 9999. Underflows and overflows will be displayed in the format set
before fraction mode was entered.
