Tuesday Quick Tips: Google Calculate…
Carrying a calculator around with you isn’t very practical, unless you are Mrs. Digitante, then you have one in your purse. Your computer has a calculator, but you have to dig about three menus deep to find it. Fortunately, most people have a browser with a calculator built right in.
Not only does Google’s search box do calculations, but it will show you the answer in auto-complete before you are even done. Check it out in action:
As you can see, it reveals the answer of 46,656 as you type. Pressing enter isn’t really necessary. However, if you do press enter, you get more options.
If you wanted to actually search for the term 6^6, you are certainly given the option to do so.
Anybody use Google as a units converter as well? Got any other quick and easy ways to make calculations on the fly such as an abacus or your brain? Let everybody know in the comments.
