Lifetime:	Introduced: unknown Terminated: unknown
Notes:	Another calculator using a generic calculator IC and mimicking a CASIO calculator by name for credibility. Funny how the FRACTION moniker is used whilst this calculator does not have a fraction key as such. Reverse image search came up with various other models with the same key layout but different housing, such as: A brandless "made in China" version with the general type indicator "Scientific Calculator" The abacus 268 The A&W FRACTION The Bazic 3003 SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR The Bazic SCIENT IF IC calculator The BISTEC BS-600 The Hungarian Btech fx-82LB FRACTION The CaTec fx-82LB FRACTION (this one) The encore fx-82LB FRACTION The Guangdong Jishengke Industrial (广东吉盛科实业有限公司) S3 The Kaisen 10 Digit fx-82LB FRACTION The KK fx-82LB FRACTION The ORPAT fx-100D (Indian brand, and no it’s not a rebranded CASIO fx-100D) The PHILIPS SBC 1707 The Signature FRACTION The TECTRON fx-82LB FRACTION Very peculiar (and probably illegal) how these can use familiar type indicators such as fx-82LB and fx-100D. Could it be a trick to be accepted as a standard high school calculator? Anyway, the calculator itself is a 10-digit scientific calculator with a load of functions. BASE conversion, statistics and complex number calculations. Four screws need to be removed to replace the two AA batteries.
