Quick
Calculations in Browser Search Bar
Q.
Sometimes I need to run a quick calculation.
Instead of digging out the calculator, or
opening Excel, is there anything else to do?
A. Search engines such as Google
and Bing will also do calculations if you type
something into the search box.
For
instance, if you type “487 * 2” – without the
quotes – you’ll get the answer. It will even
do algebra, and some trigonometry, too.
More examples:
4396/6 2^16
(raise to the power of 16) 20% of 200
sqrt 10000 log 1000000 4 + 5!
