ReadableCalc
Read full descriptionHide full description
ReadableCalc is a calculator app that displays large numbers—like 3 trillion 500 billion—in readable units. It’s designed to make extremely large numbers more intuitive at a glance. Main Features • Supports four basic operations (+, −, ×, ÷) • Displays results in English numeric units for easy readability • Handles decimals and negative numbers • DEL button for deleting one character at a time (Long press to clear the entire expression) • Long press on expressions or results to copy • Tap on the “readable” result to toggle display between: • Short scale / Long scale / Kanji numerals Additional features in landscape mode: • “00”, “000”, and “0000” buttons for quickly adding zeros • “x²” and “x³” buttons for quick exponentiation Note: • Numbers exceeding 200 digits may be rounded due to calculation and display limitations. Please be cautious if you need high precision. • Short scale and Long scale support numbers up to 10^198. • Kanji numeral display supports up to 10^72. Larger numbers are shown in Arabic numerals instead.
Constructive Calculator
This calculator performs calculations with arbitrary precision, avoiding rounding errors common in standard calculators. It provides an extensive scientific keypad and can display an unlimited number of digits for exact results.
- Arbitrary-precision calculations
- Unlimited digit display
- Scientific keypad
- Exact results for large numbers
- Running tape of calculations
- Locale-aware digit grouping

Ordinary calculators round. Constructive Calculator doesn't. It computes with constructive real numbers, an arbitrary-precision engine that keeps every result exact and hands you as many correct digits as you ask for. The rounding errors that quietly accumulate in ordinary calculators simply never happen. AS MANY DIGITS AS YOU WANT A pocket calculator stops at about 15 digits and rounds off the rest. Constructive Calculator keeps every result exact, so the digits a normal calculator throws away are still there. Swipe √2, π, or any answer to pull in tens, hundreds, or thousands more, computed on demand. SCIENTIFIC KEYPAD Trigonometry in degrees or radians and their inverses, exponentials and logarithms, powers and roots, factorials, percentages, the constants π and e, and the standard normal distribution, its CDF Φ and quantile Φ⁻¹, computed to the same arbitrary precision as everything else. BIG INTEGERS, IN FULL 52! (the number of ways to shuffle a deck) prints in full, all 68 of its digits, with no scientific-notation hand-waving. BUILT FOR CLARITY A running tape of recent calculations, locale-aware digit grouping, and copy at whatever precision you need. Constructive Calculator is an independent port of Hans Boehm's constructive-reals calculator, rebuilt natively for iPhone and iPad.
