Numbers & Math
Unit converters, base converters, calculators, and math utilities.
148 tools available
The Numbers & Math tools turn awkward arithmetic into instant, exact answers — unit conversions, number-base changes, percentages, ratios, statistics, and everyday calculators. Behind a simple input box sits careful handling of the things people get wrong by hand: floating-point rounding, significant figures, and the long chains of conversion factors that link metric and imperial systems.
Conversions here are dimensionally consistent: each unit is defined against an SI base, so miles → metres → feet resolves through a single source of truth rather than a hard-coded shortcut that drifts. Base converters move freely between decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal, and the calculators show their working so you can trust — and learn from — the result. Everything computes client-side and updates live as you type, which makes these tools as useful for checking homework as for sizing an engineering tolerance.
SI prefixes & orders of magnitude
The metric prefixes underpinning most unit conversions, from the very small to the very large.
| Prefix | Symbol | Factor | Power of 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giga | G | 1,000,000,000 | 109 |
| Mega | M | 1,000,000 | 106 |
| Kilo | k | 1,000 | 103 |
| (base) | — | 1 | 100 |
| Milli | m | 0.001 | 10−3 |
| Micro | µ | 0.000001 | 10−6 |
| Nano | n | 0.000000001 | 10−9 |
Converting within the metric system is just shifting the decimal point by the difference in powers of ten.
