Does anyone know how to change the output? I'm looking for decimal values and most of the time it spits out a giant fraction.

Any other Mathematica tips would be great. I spilled pop on my calculator (burst in my backpack), so I've been using Mathematica for my math and physics homework.

The way to request decimal output is with the "N" command (N for numerical)

N 349 544
0.641544

Cool, thanks!

I figured there would have been a way to simply swap it all over (like a menu option), but this works for my purposes.
