This Binary Calculator app was created in response to requests from visitors to our popular arithmetic.info Binary Calculator web application. The Binary Calculator app actually has four calculators in one. It can add binary numbers, subtract binary numbers, multiply binary numbers, and divide binary numbers. We also included three binary converters: Binary to Decimal, Binary to Hexadecimal, and Binary to Octal. The app is fast, intuitive, and easy to use. It is a standalone app, which means that it will work perfectly fine in places with little or no Internet access.
