Working with Big Numbers
Standard floating-point numbers in computers have limitations on their size and precision. When calculations involve numbers that exceed these limits, you can encounter errors or inaccuracies. This calculator uses the bignumber.js library to handle arbitrarily large numbers and perform calculations with high precision, avoiding these common issues.
Supported Formats
You can input numbers in several formats:
- Integers:
12345678901234567890
- Decimals:
-987.654321
- Scientific E-notation:
1.23e+50
or-4.56E-20
Precision
The "precision" setting determines the number of decimal places in the result for operations like division and square root. The library supports a high degree of precision, allowing for very accurate results in complex calculations.
