I need to multiply a lot of fractions by .741 Any advice?
 

All the online calculators do either fraction by fraction or convert fraction into decimal.

I want to find out what 19/32 * .741 is without having to convert either into something else.

Thoughts?

I suppose since .741 is the constant I could convert that into a fraction and then multiply using a fraction calculator.

Never mind.

Excel?

You could, instead, divide by 1.35.

Does your calculator have a constant function? Or can you store the 0.741 in memory?

Even better, use the increasing increment function in Excel--type in 1/32, then 2/32 in the cell below, then 3/32 below that. Then move the cursor to the very bottom right corner of the 3/32 cell until it turns into a plus, and drag it down as far as you need (I'm assuming only up to 32/32.)

Paste the next column with .741, and make the third column A1*B1, A2*B2, etc. Choose whichever answers you need.

I want to have, like, a million of your babies. * .741

Yeah don't strain yourself, 741,000 of my babies is plenty.

I just realized I don't know how to work excel.

I'm always impressed with people who really know excel.

I just use it to list tables of numbers. That might be one of those things that would be worthwhile, actually learning excel.

The increment function is my absolute favorite (I don't even know if that's what it's called, that's just how I think of it.) You can also use it in the equation column above. Just type in A1*B1, then do the same corner-drag and it's smart enough to make the next cell A2*B2, then A3*B3... It can generate a variety of quality graphs from tables of data too.

I Luvs me some Excel geekiness! I sometimes get lost for hours in nested functions ...
