Q&A for How to Use the Google Calculator

To the left of the 0 button (or when you are typing the equation in, use the ^ key (shift 6)).

Use the ^ symbol. This symbol is made by pressing shift and 6. The exponent (little number) should go directly to the left of the triangle.

Select the parentheses/bracket that looks like this: ( and press the - symbol. Close the number with ).

Just click the period below the 2 button on the Google Calculator.

Use the 'x to the power of y' button. You can also use this icon: ^

The only time you will see repeating decimals is when you compute an equation that results in a repeating decimal, and Google Calculator usually turns the repeating decimal into a terminating decimal to save time.

Using the backward slash (/) to perform division.

Press the the slash button on your keyboard to do division and convert the fraction to its decimal equivalent.

There should be a CE button on the top left of the calculator; you can do it from there.

It doesn't let you do that, unfortunately. However, if you just put in the equation/expression you're trying to solve/simplify, Google will solve the answer for you automatically.

Type in the base number, then press the x^y button (to the left of the number 0), and enter 2.

You cannot use a variable in the Google Calculator, but you can type an equation or expression with variables into Google Search, and it will solve or simplify it for you.

You cannot input variables on the calculator. However, Google can simplify expressions or solve equations involving variables for you, such as simplifying 2y + 4y or solving 2y + 4 = 12.

You can't. Google Calculator does not let you do that.

Google Calculator doesn't support variables, but if you type in something like 6x = 12, Google will solve the equation for you.

Press the number you want to square, then click the x^y, then click 2 then x^y again (or equals depending on your calculator) and you'll be given your answer. (If you want to square a negative number, you will have to put it in parentheses.)

It will have a some kind of radical sign. It is shaped like the long division symbol.

It's not possible, unfortunately. You have to do problems involving variables without Google Calculator.

You first type the 1- then when wanting to type -3 instead type it like this if you can (-3) so it would be like this: 1-(-3).

Look for the square root button, then type in what number you want as a square root.
