Type an expression or tap the keys. It follows the order of operations, so check your answer the way your teacher expects.

Learn How it works

  • Order of operations (PEMDAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right).
  • Degrees vs. radians: Geometry and most trig homework use degrees. Precalculus and calculus often use radians. Check the DEG/RAD button.
  • Negative numbers: −3² means −(3²) = −9. Type (−3)^2 to square negative three.
  • Keyboard: type directly, press Enter for =, Esc to clear. Use ^ for powers and ! for factorial.
