Can’t find your calculator? Use Google!

You can use Google to do math for you. Type the equation into the search bar, like 23*7+15/3=, and hit Enter OR you can just type “calculator” into the search bar and it will pull one up for you.

*Oh, yeah: on the keyboard, * means “times” and / means “divided by.”
