What is the best program for fractions?

Question

I must do some math homework and I want to type it out. . . What is the best way to type math problems involving fractions so the fraction is upright (not like this: 2/4)? Thank you!

Answer 1

You could buy Maple 10 which is around $1500 for students but it also does almost every area of math. Or you could get something much better for FREE. But you must learn to work in it. LaTeX. I could write paragraphs on the advantages of LATeX over Word, Perfect etc., but I won't.

There are three things you need to download: MikTeX, Ghostscript and a user interface called TeXnicenter. They are all available for free on the internet. I've impressed my math teachers with the quality of my typesetting. Spending a few hours eveyday is a wise investment if you are a math major or someone who likes to publish scientific papers.

Answer 2

sometimes if you use microsoft word to type the fractions into, the automatic features in word will convert the fraction from a horizontal view (2/4) to the more traditionally excepted view (upright).

Answer 3

Word will automatically turn common fractions into the format you want.



For less common fractions you can use the "Equation Editor" in Word. You select "object" from the "insert" menu, and then pick "Equation Editor "from the choices. If you don't find it, it means it wasn't installed when you loaded Office. It is very easy to install from your Office CD.

Answer 4

the decimal to fraction function could artwork; teach me your code and doubtless i will restoration it. you would opt for to keep your decimal values as variables and then follow the decimal-->fraction function. if that fails, you could approximate the fraction by skill of eliminating the decimal. multiply each little thing by skill of 10^6, say, then teach that divided by skill of one million,000,000 (follow the floor function to round it off). in case you opt for those fractions simplified, there will be a equipped-in function for that or you could code it your self :repeat GCF(a,b)?a million :a/GCF(a,b)-->a :b/GCF(a,b)-->b the position a is your magnified fee and b is your potential of 10, of direction.
