Google Has a Calculator. And a Sense of Humor.

Posted in: Web Info, Tips & Tricks

Yes, Google provides a million and one services. Google conducts web searches for you, lets you send emails via Gmail, tracks your website’s analytics, and lets you create, edit, and store documents online. Were you aware that Google is also more than happy to serve as your … calculator?

There’s no Google Calculator application. There’s no Google Calculator page. Just drop your math equations right into the Google search box and hit the Search button. Can’t figure out the answer to 5 times 10? Just type “5*10” into Google, hit the Search button, and the Google Calculator answer will appear in bold at the top of your results page. (Wait – did you really not know what 5 times 10 was? Really?)

The Google Calculator even knows quite a few things that the normal, everyday calculator could only wish it knew. Type the following math questions into the Google search box (and then hit the Search button, of course) to see what I mean…

  • How many seconds in a decade?
  • How much is a Googol?
  • What is the loneliest number?
  • What is once in a blue moon?
  • How many feet are in a smoot?
