Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I enter decimal numbers in this calculator?
-
No, this calculator supports only integer inputs and outputs. Decimal or fractional numbers are not handled.
-
How does the integer division work in this tool?
-
Integer division calculates the quotient by flooring the division of a by b, and provides the remainder as the difference between a and b times the quotient.
-
Is it possible to calculate exponentiation with non-integer powers?
-
No, exponentiation in this tool is defined only for integer exponents.
-
Are there any rounding errors in calculations?
-
No, since all operations are performed using exact integer arithmetic, no rounding or floating-point errors occur.
Key Terminology
-
Integer
-
A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero, without fractional or decimal parts.
-
Quotient
-
The integer result obtained by dividing one integer by another using floor division.
-
Remainder
-
The leftover amount after integer division subtracting the product of divisor and quotient from the dividend.
-
Absolute Value
-
The non-negative value of an integer regardless of its sign, denoted as |a|.
-
Exponentiation
-
Raising an integer base a to the power of an integer exponent n, denoted as a^n.
