In the Google search engine, in addition to the function of finding links to pages with the necessary information, additional options have long begun to appear. The first of these was the postal system, later an online translator and others were added to it. A little less known is the option existing in Google, which allows you to replace a simple calculator.
Using the built-in Google calculator is very simple - enter the desired arithmetic or trigonometric function directly in the search query field. Use the + and - signs to denote addition and subtraction operations, * and / for multiplication and division. For example, to add 312 and 458 and multiply the result by 47, enter the query (312 + 458) * 47.
To enter the exponent, use the ^ symbol - for example, write two in a cube like this: 2 ^ 3. For the reverse operation - extracting a root of an arbitrary power - this calculator uses a slightly more complex notation. Extracting a root means raising a number to a fractional power, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator is the exponent itself. Therefore, for example, to extract the cube root of 8, enter the following entry: 8 ^ (1/3). You can use the sqrt statement to calculate the square root - for example, sqrt (4).
To get the remainder of dividing one number by another, enter both of them, separating them with a percentage symbol - for example, entering 15% 7 will result in one. The same sign is used to calculate percentages - for example, if you enter the query "25% of 200", Google will return the following answer: "25% of 200 = 50".
To calculate the values of trigonometric functions, use their standard notation - sin, cos, tg, ctg, etc. However, keep in mind that, by default, the number you specify without the designation of units, the calculator will measure in radians - for example, if you enter sin 30, the answer will be the number -0, 98803162. To calculate in degrees, type “sin 30 degrees of arc” and then you get the answer is 0, 5.
For those who find it more convenient to use a calculator with a conventional push-button interface, Google provides this opportunity. True, so far it works only in the English-language versions of the search engine - the user needs to enter the query calculator and the familiar interface with buttons will appear under the input field. In the Russian version, this magic word will not work, but you can use the link below - the required query has already been added to it.
