Calculator Problem

Hi guys, I've got a super sophisticated Math problem here for you. I am using a scientific calculator (Casio fx-83GT PLUS) and I want to know how to get it to give me precise numbers instead of estimates. For example if I put in the fraction 8/9 it tells me it is simply 0.8, I am looking for it to display 0.888888....I mean it's not a huge problem but can be when I am trying to get 2 long equations to try and equal one another.

Inside the cover of it there should be a guide of how to reset it to starting conditions, if not try selecting sci in mode or trying some of the options in there, I don't have a calculator to hand to check it out.

Here is the manual for your calculator:

I have a different Casio, but on mine you use the S<=>D button.

The Casio calculator usually gives you 8/9 = 0.8 with a dot over the 8, which means 0.8888888888......, if its the calculator I think it is.
