            Understanding Complex Number Arithmetic

            Add, subtract, multiply and divide complex numbers. Within math calculators, complex number arithmetic belongs to the algebra & equations cluster, where it shares terminology and assumptions with closely related tools.

            Learning how complex number arithmetic is calculated

            Complex arithmetic combines real and imaginary parts separately, with i² = −1. Working through the variables one at a time — i — makes the result reproducible by hand and easier to sanity-check.

            Using complex number arithmetic to make a decision

            Because outputs depend on the assumptions you enter, run more than one scenario before committing to a figure.

            How complex number arithmetic compares with related measures

            equation, root, exponent, logarithm all describe adjacent aspects of algebra & equations. Comparing this calculator's output against those measures — using the related tools listed on this page — prevents a single metric from being read in isolation.
