Math Solver: Step-by-Step Calculator
This math solver reads a problem you type and picks the right method for you. Enter plain arithmetic like 2 + 3 * 4^2 / 8 and see each step in order of operations. Enter an equation such as x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 and get the solutions. Type "derivative of x^2*sin(x)", "integral of x^2 from 0 to 3", "limit sin(x)/x as x->0" or "factor x^2-5x+6" and the solver handles those too. Everything runs on your own device with no sign-up, no account and no upload, so your homework stays private.
Math Solver
Type a math problem and get an answer with steps. Works in your browser.
How to use the Math Solver
- Type your problem in the box, for example 2x + 3 = 11 or (5 + 3) * 2 - 4 / 2.
- For calculus, start with derivative of, integral of or limit, and for algebra use solve, factor, expand or simplify.
- Tick the degrees box if sin, cos and tan should use degrees instead of radians.
- Read the answer and the steps below it, then change the input to try a new problem.
What it can solve
Arithmetic follows the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. Quadratics use x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a. Derivatives use the power, product, quotient and chain rules. Limits are found by numerical evaluation near the point.
Features

- Derivatives and integrals with a numeric check
- Limits, factoring, expanding and prime factorization
- Percent problems such as 20% of 150
- Free, private and works offline after loading
Frequently asked questions
What can this math solver do?
It evaluates arithmetic, solves polynomial and many other equations, expands and factors expressions, finds derivatives and integrals, and estimates limits. It is a rule-based engine that runs in your browser, not an artificial intelligence.
Does the math solver show steps?
Arithmetic shows every step in the order of operations. Equations show the rewritten form, coefficients and discriminant, and derivatives list the rules used. Some advanced results show only the final answer.
How do I type exponents, roots and fractions?
Use ^ for powers, sqrt(x) for square roots, / for division and * for multiplication. Implicit multiplication such as 2x or 3(x+1) also works, and pi and e are known constants.
Why does it say no closed form was found?
The built-in rules cover common functions such as polynomials, exponentials, sines, cosines and logarithms. For other integrals, add the limits to get a numerical value of the definite integral.
Is my homework sent anywhere?
No. All calculations happen on your own device, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.
