This calculator supports all operations with complex numbers and evaluates expressions in the complex number system. You can use i (mathematics) or j (electrical engineering) as the imaginary unit, both satisfying the fundamental property i2 = −1 or j2 = −1.

Additionally, the calculator can convert complex numbers into:
  • Angle notation (phasor notation)
  • Exponential form
  • Polar coordinates (magnitude and angle)
Example input: 5*(1+i)(-2-5i)^2

Complex numbers in the angle notation or phasor (polar coordinates r, θ) may be written as rLθ where r is magnitude/amplitude/radius, and θ is the angle (phase) in degrees, for example, 5L65 which is the same as 5*cis(65°).
Example of multiplication of two imaginary numbers in the angle/polar/phasor notation: 10L45 * 3L90.

For use in education (for example, calculations of alternating currents at high school), you need a quick and precise complex number calculator.

Basic operations with complex numbers

We hope that working with complex numbers is quite easy because you can work with the imaginary unit i as a variable and use the definition i2 = -1 to simplify complex expressions. Many operations are the same as operations with two-dimensional vectors.

Addition

It is very simple: add up the real parts (without i) and add up the imaginary parts (with i):
This is equivalent to using the rule: (a+bi)+(c+di) = (a+c) + (b+d)i

(1+i) + (6-5i) = 7-4i
12 + 6-5i = 18-5i
(10-5i) + (-5+5i) = 5

Subtraction

Again it is very simple: subtract the real parts and subtract the imaginary parts (with i):
This is equivalent to using the rule: (a+bi)-(c+di) = (a-c) + (b-d)i

(1+i) - (3-5i) = -2+6i
-1/2 - (6-5i) = -6.5+5i
(10-5i) - (-5+5i) = 15-10i

Multiplication

To multiply two complex numbers, use the distributive law, expand the binomials, and apply i2 = -1.
This is equivalent to using the rule: (a+bi)(c+di) = (ac-bd) + (ad+bc)i

(1+i) (3+5i) = 1·3+1·5i+i·3+i·5i = 3+5i+3i-5 = -2+8i
-1/2 · (6-5i) = -3+2.5i
(10-5i) · (-5+5i) = -25+75i

Division

The division of two complex numbers can be accomplished by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the denominator's complex conjugate. This approach eliminates the imaginary unit i from the denominator. If the denominator is c+di, to make it without i (or make it real), multiply with conjugate c-di:

(c+di)(c-di) = c2+d2


(10-5i) / (1+i) = 2.5-7.5i
-3 / (2-i) = -1.2-0.6i
6i / (4+3i) = 0.72+0.96i

Absolute value or modulus

The absolute value or modulus is the distance of the image of a complex number from the origin in the plane. The calculator uses the Pythagorean theorem to find this distance. Very simple, see examples: |3+4i| = 5
|1-i| = 1.4142136
|6i| = 6
abs(2+5i) = 5.3851648

Square root

The square root of a complex number (a+bi) is z, if z2 = (a+bi). Here ends simplicity. Because of the fundamental theorem of algebra, you will always have two different square roots for a given number. If you want to find out the possible values, the easiest way is to use De Moivre's formula. Our calculator can handle this because the square root is not a well-defined function on complex numbers. We calculate all complex roots from any number - even in expressions:

sqrt(9i) = 2.1213203+2.1213203i
sqrt(10-6i) = 3.2910412-0.9115656i
pow(-32,1/5)/5 = -0.4
pow(1+2i,1/3) · sqrt(4) = 2.439233+0.9434225i
pow(-5i,1/8) · pow(8,1/3) = 2.3986959-0.4771303i

Square, power, complex exponentiation

Our calculator can raise any complex number to an integer (positive, negative), real, or even complex number. In other words, we calculate 'complex number to a complex power' or 'complex number raised to a power'...
Famous example:
ii=e−π/2
i^2 = -1
i^61 = i
(6-2i)^6 = -22528-59904i
(6-i)^4.5 = 2486.1377428-2284.5557378i
(6-5i)^(-3+32i) = 2929449.0399425-9022199.5826224i
i^i = 0.2078795764
pow(1+i,3) = -2+2i
