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 can add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive or negative decimals. 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
• dividing 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:

• Compare numbers
  Compare the numbers: 0.327 and 0.0895 (which is bigger and which is smaller?)
• Tourist route longest
  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)?
• A+B+C=one hundred
  A+B+C=100. If A=27.5 and the value of B are between 10 and 15 and which has two decimal places, then what can be the greatest value of C?
• Comparing and sorting
  Arrange in descending order these fractions: 2/7, 7/10 & 1/2
• 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.
• Compare
  Compare fractions (34)/(3) and (12)/(4). Which fraction of the lower?
• Random variable distribution
  The distribution of the random variable X is given in the following table. Calculate P[X is odd], E[X] and P[1<X≤6] Probability distribution table: xi; 1; 2; 3 ; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9 pi; 0.30; 0.12; 0.18; 0.10; 0.07; 0.07; 0.06; 0.05; 0.05
