Well who said Google is meant only for search? Yup! Now you can Do Higher & Lower Level Mathematics (Maths) With Google for free.

Since it’s Google, so it will definitely yield accurate results. Here’s how to use Google for Maths. The image right below depicts a simple mathematical calculation via Google, you can also carry on Higher Level Mathematics Calculation via Google, read on…

Basic Arithmetic

Operator	Function	Example
+	Addition	[ 15.99 + 32.50 + 13.25 ]
–	Subtraction	[ 79 – 18 – 19 ]
*	Multiplication	[ 2 * 3 * 7 ]
/	Division	[ 378 / 9 ]
`^` or `**`	Exponentiation (raise to a power of)	[ 4^10 ] or [ 4**10 ]
% of	Percent	[ 15% of 93.45 ]
mod or %	modulo (the remainder after division)	[ 15 mod 9 ] or [ 15 % 9 ]
the `n`th root of	calculates the `n`th root	[ 4th root of 16 ]; [ cube root of 109 ]; [ square root of 42 ] or [ sqrt(42) ]

Advanced Maths

Operator	Function	Example
