What Is This Tool?
The Integer Calculator evaluates an arithmetic expression made of whole numbers. You type an equation using +, −, ×, ÷, parentheses, and positive or negative numbers, click Calculate, and get the result — for example, (-33) - 28 + -45 - (97 - 36) equals -167. It follows the standard order of operations, keeps results exact for numbers of any size, uses integer division for ÷, and lets you copy the answer with one click.
How to Use This Tool?

Key Features
-
Evaluates whole-number expressions with +, −, ×, ÷, and parentheses.
-
Handles negative numbers and signs in front of values.
-
Follows the standard order of operations.
-
Keeps results exact even for very large numbers.
-
Includes a one-click copy button for the answer.
Examples
-
(-33) - 28 + -45 - (97 - 36) equals -167.
-
12 + 8 × 3 equals 36, following order of operations.
-
(5 - 8) × 4 equals -12.
-
20 ÷ 6 equals 3, using integer division.
Common Use Cases
-
Adding and subtracting positive and negative integers.
-
Checking the order of operations in a multi-step expression.
-
Working through integer arithmetic homework.
-
Verifying signed-number calculations quickly.
-
Teaching or practicing operations with integers.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use parentheses to group parts of the expression and control the order.
-
Place a minus sign directly before a number to make it negative.
-
Enter whole numbers only, since decimals are not accepted.
-
Remember that division gives a whole-number (integer) result.
-
Copy the result directly to avoid transcription mistakes.
Limitations
-
Accepts whole numbers only, not decimals or fractions.
-
Division returns an integer (truncated) result, not a decimal.
-
Evaluates one expression at a time.
-
Only +, −, ×, ÷, and parentheses are supported.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it follow the order of operations?
-
Yes. Multiplication and division are done before addition and subtraction, and parentheses come first.
-
Can I use negative numbers?
-
Yes. Put a minus sign before a number, and use parentheses like (-33) when it helps readability.
-
How is division handled?
-
It uses integer division, so the result is the whole-number quotient, such as 20 ÷ 6 = 3.
-
Is there a limit on how large the numbers can be?
-
No. Results stay exact even for very large integers.
Key Terminology
-
Integer
-
A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.
-
Operand
-
A number that an operation acts on, such as the values on each side of a plus sign.
-
Order of operations
-
The rule that multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, with parentheses first.
-
Parentheses
-
Brackets that group part of an expression so it is calculated first.
-
Integer division
-
Division that returns only the whole-number quotient, dropping any fractional part.
