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.
All the standard arithmetic operations are possible.

| % of | Percentage of | [ 25% of 193.45 ] |
| mod or % | Modulo Operation (finds remainder after division) | [ 15 mod 9 ] or [ 15 % 9 ] |
the nth root of |
computes the nth root |
[ 4th root of 16 ]; [ cube root of 1019 ]; [ square root of 424 ] or [ sqrt(424) ] |
