According to the basic Google cheat sheet, there are a just a few operators available to users. Yet Google accepts a much larger group of operators, let’s find out what they are. But before we do that, try the following link: (1 + sqrt(5))/2

Google’s Cheat Sheet

  • addition           45 + 39
  • subtraction           45 – 39
  • multiplication           45 * 39
  • division           45 / 39
  • percentage of           45% of 39
  • raise to a power     2^5

Roots, squares and cubes

By typing sqrt() with a positive integer, Google will calculate the value of the square root. Since Google offers the power operator, one could simply use 2^0.5 instead. Writing a cube root with such notation would be quite impractical.

Google also give the square root value by simply typing “square root of 4”.
Using this syntax, Google will also calculate “cube root”, “Nth root of”

e^(i*pi)

Google’s mathematical abilities are quite impressive, in fact you can use common constants like e, pi and i in all calculations.

All trigonometric operators are available as well but arguments are assumed to be in radians : sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot, arcsin, arccos, arctan, arccsc, sinh, cosh, tanh, csch, arsinh, arccsch

MCMLXVII in decimal

Google also does currency and unit conversions of mass, length, volume, area, time, electricity, power, energy and various numbering systems

Constants

Google also understands a number of physics constants from the speed of light to the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
