Google Calculator : Google's built in Calculator
Google calculator is a built-in feature of Google and the funny thing is the fact that we , the die hard Google fans often use it unknowingly.You can do many things like adding up a list of numbers, convert from litres to gallons, or evaluate some other mathematical expression(sin,cos and all that crap) with Google’s built-in calculator function.Believe me , Google Calculator is gonna give you freedom from your calculator, or a computer math software program.
All the standard arithmetic operations are possible.
