About This Tool
JavaScript stores numbers as 64-bit floating-point values (IEEE 754 standard), which causes rounding errors in decimal arithmetic. For example, 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004 instead of 0.3. This calculator uses Decimal.js library to perform arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic, avoiding floating-point representation by working with decimal strings internally. This ensures accurate calculations for financial applications, scientific computing, and any scenario requiring exact decimal precision. Key Features: • Simple Mode: Basic calculator with two numbers and six operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide, power, modulus) • Expression Mode: Evaluate complex mathematical expressions with parentheses and multiple operations • Arbitrary precision: Calculate with up to 15 decimal places • Fraction conversion: See decimal results as fractions (e.g., 0.5 → 1/2) • Scientific notation: Toggle exponential format for very large or small numbers • Auto-calculate: Results update as you type (Simple Mode only) • History tracking: Review your last 5 calculations
How to Use
Simple Mode: 1. Enter First Number and Second Number 2. Select an Operation (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Power, Modulus) 3. Choose Decimal Places (2-15) 4. Enable optional settings: Auto-calculate, Scientific notation, Show as fraction 5. Click 'Calculate' to see the precise result Expression Mode: 1. Switch to Expression Mode tab 2. Enter a mathematical expression (e.g., 0.1 + 0.2 or (23.456 + 45.23) * 2 - 10) 3. Supports operators: + - * / ^ % ( ) 4. Use Quick examples buttons for common calculations 5. Click 'Evaluate Expression' for the result
