    Calculators don't allow you to insert fractions as such. All you can do is enter the numerator, then the division sign, and then the denominator. It will display the decimal equivalent of the fraction. (Fractions really mean division.)

    You would need a calculator that allows you to enter variables. Most calculators don't allow you to do that. However, if you type it on Google, Google will solve the problem for you.
