Options: Whole Numbers, Integers (positive and negative), Fractions, Decimals, Money (When working with Fractions, the difference of two fractions is a fraction that can be written in many different ways. Type in both the numerator and denominator before pressing Enter, but you can write the fraction in most any equivalent form. A difference of zero can be written as 0/1.)
