Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online complex number calculator.
A complex number has a real part and an imaginary part, written as a + bi, where i is the
square root of minus one.
Add the real parts together and add the imaginary parts together. For example (3 + 2i) plus
(1 + 4i) gives 4 + 6i.
Multiply the terms like binomials and replace i squared with minus one. The tool does this
automatically and simplifies the result.
Multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the divisor, then simplify. The calculator
performs that step for you.
The modulus is the distance from the origin, and the argument is the angle from the positive
real axis, shown here in degrees.
Yes. When the imaginary parts cancel out, the answer is a plain real number and the tool
shows it without an i term.
Yes. Negative real parts, negative imaginary parts and decimals are all accepted in both
complex numbers.
Dividing by zero is undefined in complex arithmetic, so the tool reports an error instead of
returning a meaningless value.
No. Every calculation happens locally in your browser and nothing you type is ever
transmitted or stored.
