Fractions & Decimals
In the Wolfram Language, exact input (like fractions) will provide exact output:
(Use CTRL+ / to enter fractions.)| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |  |
Put fractions over their lowest common denominator with Together:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
Any input containing decimals gives approximate output:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |  |
Use N to get a numerical approximation of a result:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
Specify the accuracy to which your answer is displayed:
| In[3]:= |
| Out[3]= |  |
Some numbers are better expressed in ScientificForm:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |  |
ScientificForm is applied automatically when appropriate:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= |  |
