You can use the Baseline to, you know, raise and lower a little bit. You can decide to shrink the size of these numbers a little bit. There are other things that you could do. You can see that slash is a little bit more of a diagonal line than the other one. So you may have noticed when I do Control Command Space and search for fractions that there's another slash there. As a matter of fact you even have the option to use a different slash. For instance I can select that first character there and I can go and change it to Baseline to make it superscript and then maybe make this second character here, the second number, the Baseline subscript. Now you can make things look a little bit better. So you can just use a slash for fractions. So it's nice sometimes when the way that you put something to be in a nice word processing document and the way you type something into Spotlight or Calculator or some other type of app it's the same. So in any math equation I want to definitely use this technique. If I type 3/7 you can see it actually calculates the result. So for instance I'll do Command Space to bring up Spotlight here. Now this is a very important method of doing it because it's a method that the computer understands when you're doing math calculations. You can see this in examples online and everything.
But typically you can see this everywhere. Maybe with the exception of the nicest typeset things like posters or something like that. This is so universally used that it's okay pretty much in any circumstance to use it. So, for instance, if I wanted to type three sevenths I would just type 3 slash 7. The main option, and what most people use, is just use the slash key on your keyboard. Now what if you want to use a fraction that's not one of those few that have special characters. So you can actually use the ¼ character, I can just click on that and this is a single character, and that should show up okay on just about any computer. Video Transcript: These are special characters that are part of like the universal character set that all computers have.
