For example type 32/45=
into search field.

Answer is shown and you can go further with more operations.

I am using firefox on a windows 7 machine.
Google search is default.

I put 32/45=

in the search field

It loads the following site which has a calculator.

I normally just use the terminal

Code: Select all

echo $[32000000/45]

Just put a dot in front after.

If you are using Chromium or Chrome and have a webcam mike, there is no need to type anything.
Simply click on the blue voice search microphone and ask the question:- examples:

20 divided by 4

or

6 times 3.1

In each case the calculator will display the answer which will also be spoken out aloud.
