Scientific Calculator is a free online utility that allows you to easily perform complex calculations on trigonometric functions, squares, factorials, and more.
How to use the scientific calculator and examples
1. Enter numbers
Click the number buttons (0-9) to enter numbers.
Example: To enter the number 45, press 4 → 5 in order.
2. Operation symbols
You can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using the +, -, ×, and ÷ buttons.
Example: To calculate 45 + 15, press 4 → 5 → + → 1 → 5 → =. The result is 60.
3. Trigonometric functions
When you press the sin, cos, and tan buttons, parentheses will automatically open, and you can enter the angle and calculate it. The angle mode can be set with the Rad or Deg buttons.
Example: To calculate sin(30°), press Deg → sin → 3 → 0 → ) → =. The result is approximately 0.5.
4. Using Parentheses
Use (
and )
to set precedence in complex calculations. You can also use parentheses when entering trigonometric functions or other formulas.
Example: To calculate (3 + 5) × 2, press ( → 3 → + → 5 → ) → × → 2 → =. The result is 16.
5. Squares and Square Roots
You can use the √ button to calculate square roots, and the x² button to calculate square values.
Example: To calculate 7², press 7 → x². The result is 49.
6. Factorial
Calculate factorial by pressing the n! button.
Example: To calculate 5!, press 5 → n!. The result is 120.
7. Check Results
Click the = button to check the result of the formula you entered.
Example: To calculate 10 ÷ 2, press 1 → 0 → ÷ → 2 → =. The result is 5.
8. Complex Calculations
You can perform complex calculations by combining trigonometry functions, parentheses, and arithmetic operations.
Example: To calculate sin(45°) + cos(30°), press Deg → sin → 4 → 5 → ) → + → cos → 3 → 0 → ) → =. The result is approximately 1.366.
9. Erase and Reset
Erase individual letters with the ⌫ button, and reset the calculator with the C button.
Example: To erase a formula you entered incorrectly, press the ⌫ button repeatedly. To reset the entire formula, press the C button.
