Decimal calculator

This calculator performs basic and advanced operations with decimals, real numbers, and integers. It also shows detailed step-by-step information about the calculation procedures. Solve problems with two, three, or more decimals in one expression. Add, subtract and multiply decimals step-by-step. This calculator uses addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division for positive or negative decimal numbers, integers, real numbers, and whole numbers. This online decimals calculator will help you understand adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing decimals.

The calculator follows well-known rules for the order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order are:

• PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
  
• BEDMAS: Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  
• BODMAS: Brackets, Order (or "Of"), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  
• GEMDAS: Grouping symbols (brackets: (){}), Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
  
• MDAS: Multiplication and Division (same precedence), Addition and Subtraction (same precedence). MDAS is a subset of PEMDAS.

Important Notes:
1. Multiplication/Division vs. Addition/Subtraction: Always perform multiplication and division *before* addition and subtraction.
2. Left-to-Right Rule: Operators with the same precedence (e.g., + and -, or * and /) must be evaluated from left to right.

Examples:

• addition of decimals: - 1.5 + 2.45
• addition followed subtraction: 5 + 1 - 2
• multiplying decimals: 0.25 * 0.2
• division of a decimals: 5.2/0.5
• parenthesis: 3 + 7{4 + 3[2 - (8 - 4)×3] + 5}×2
• 2nd power and order of evaluation: 6 ^ 2 - (2 * 7 + 4 ^ 2)
• cube root: cuberoot(27)
• Convert fraction to a decimal: 3/4
• decimals and mixed numbers: 1.5 - 1 1/5

Decimals in word problems:

• Tourists 82400
  On the first day, tourists covered 3/14 of the planned route, on the second day 1/3 of the route, and on the third day 8/21 of the route. On which day did they walk the longest part of the route (1,2,3)?
• Fractions
  Sort fractions z₁ = (20)/(9); z₂ = (10)/(21); z₃ = (15)/(14) by their size. The result writes as three serial numbers 1,2,3.
• Dogs weights
  Four out of nine dogs weigh less than 20 pounds. What is the decimal equivalent for the number of dogs weighing less than 20 pounds?
• Comparing powers
  How many times is number 5⁶ larger than number 4⁶?
• Decadic number
  What is the expanded form of this number? 18.029 A: (1x10)+(8x1)+(2x1/10)+(9x1/100) B: (1×10)+(8×1)+(2×1/10)+(9×1/1,000) C: (1×10)+(8×1)+(2×1/100)+(9×1/1,000) D: (1×10)+(8×1)+(2×11/00)+(9×1/100)
• Simplest form of a fraction
  Which one of the following fractions is not equal to 3/2 after reducing to the simplest form? a) 15/20 b) 12/8 c) 27/18 d) 6/4
• Sorting ASC
  Which group of decimals is in order from least to greatest? A) 1.04, 0.39, 0.8, 2.1, 0.09 B) 2.1, 1.04, 0.39, 0.8, 0.09 C) 0.09, 0.39, 0.8, 1.04, 2.1 D) 0.09, 0.39, 0.8, 2.1, 1.04
