Math Calculators

ArrayKit's math calculators cover arithmetic, algebra, geometry and statistics, and many show the working. For everyday numbers, the Percentage Calculator finds X% of Y, what percent X is of Y, and percent change, the Fraction Calculator does fraction arithmetic and simplifies the result, and the Scientific Calculator evaluates typed expressions with trig, logs, powers, roots and factorials. For algebra, the Quadratic Formula Calculator solves ax²+bx+c=0 with the discriminant and vertex, the Slope Calculator writes the equation of a line through two points, and the Matrix Calculator multiplies, transposes and inverts matrices. For statistics, the Standard Deviation Calculator gives population and sample results step by step, the Z-score Calculator turns a value into normal-distribution probabilities, and the Random Number Generator draws numbers in a range, unique if needed. For geometry, the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator finds a missing side of a right triangle, the Right Triangle Calculator and Triangle Calculator solve sides and angles, and the Area Calculator, Volume Calculator and Circle Calculator measure common shapes. The Mean, Median, Mode, Range Calculator summarizes a data set, the Confidence Interval Calculator and Sample Size Calculator handle sampling math, and the LCM Calculator, GCF Calculator, Exponent Calculator and Log Calculator cover factors, powers and logs. Students, teachers, engineers and analysts use them to check homework and quick figures. Every calculation runs in your browser, so the numbers you enter stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What can I calculate with these math calculators?
Percentages, fractions, ratios, rounding, exponents, logarithms, roots and scientific notation; factors, LCM and GCF; quadratic equations, slopes, number sequences and matrices; triangles, areas, volumes, surface areas, circles and the distance between points; and statistics from the mean and standard deviation to z-scores, confidence intervals, sample sizes, probabilities, permutations and combinations. There are also binary, hex and big-integer calculators, a half-life solver, a percent error calculator and a random number generator. For anything else, the Scientific Calculator evaluates typed expressions with trig functions, logs, powers, roots and factorials.
How do I calculate a percentage or a percent change?
The Percentage Calculator has three modes: X% of Y (15% of 240 is 36), X is what percent of Y (30 is 12.5% of 240), and percent change, which divides the difference by the starting value (80 to 100 is a 25% increase). Each answer comes with a worked line showing the calculation. To compare a measured value with a true one, use the Percent Error Calculator.
Do these math calculators show the steps?
Many do. The Quadratic Formula Calculator shows the discriminant and vertex, the Standard Deviation Calculator lists each value's deviation and squared deviation, the LCM Calculator and GCF Calculator break every number into prime factors, and the Percentage Calculator writes out the calculation. Others, such as the Triangle Calculator and Statistics Calculator, report every derived value (missing sides and angles, area and perimeter, or quartiles and skewness) so you can check your own working.
Are the numbers I type sent anywhere?
No. Every math calculator runs in your browser, so equations, data sets and matrices are computed on your device and are not uploaded to ArrayKit. The Random Number Generator also draws its numbers locally, from your browser's cryptographic random source.
How precise are the results?
Most calculators use standard double-precision arithmetic, which keeps about 15 significant digits, and round the display to a readable length. For exact answers with very long integers, use the Big Number Calculator; the Binary Calculator and Hex Calculator also use exact integer math. Statistical tools follow textbook definitions: the Standard Deviation Calculator shows both population and sample values, and the Confidence Interval Calculator uses the z-interval formula, so for small samples a t-interval will be somewhat wider.
