How to Use Your Web Browser as a Scientific Calculator
The process of using a browser as a scientific calculator may be a bit different for different browsers. So, here I explain for both Chrome and Firefox users.
Here’s How to Use Chrome Browser as Calculator
To use your Google Chrome browser as a calculator (scientific calculator), right-click on the screen, click on Inspect Element, and then click on the Console tab. Or you can directly press Ctrl + Shift + J to open Console. Here you can make any kind of calculations just like as in a scientific calculator.
For example, you can try the following calculation in your Google Chrome’s built-in calculator:
Math.sqrt(144) + Math.pow(2, 6) Math.log(10000, 10) Math.floor((Math.random()*100)) Math.sin(90)
How to Use Firefox Browser as Scientific Calculator
Just like as Google Chrome browser, you can also use a scientific calculator in Firefox using its web console section. Reaching to web console in Firefox is a bit different than in Chrome. In the Chrome browser, you can reach the web console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J but if you press this combination in Firefox, the browser console will open rather than the web console. Web Console and Browser Console are both different from each other.
So, to open the browser console in your Firefox browser, you will have to open the web developer tools and here you will find the web console section. Or directly you can press Ctrl+Shift+K in Firefox to open the web console.
That’s all, in the web console of your Firefox browser, you can perform any kind of basic or scientific calculations.
