Abstract
A portable electronic computer for conducting fraction calculations has a display including a first multiple-digit display area for displaying the numerator of a fraction, and a second multiple-digit display area for displaying the denominator of the fraction. The numbers of digits of the numerator and denominator of a fraction to be displayed are obtained. The number of digits of the numerator is compared with the number of digits of the denominator. The difference between the number of digits of the numerator and the number of digits of the denominator is calculated. When the number of digits of the numerator is smaller than the number of digits of the denominator, the numerator is displayed on the first display area with its position shifted to an upper digit place according to the difference. When the number of digits of the denominator is smaller than the number of digits of the numerator, the denominator is displayed on the second display area with its position shifted to an upper digit place according to the difference.
