Google is the world’s most popular search engine but did you know that it also works as an Online Calculator? Googling is now a regular activity for anyone who is searching for answers on the internet. When you are searching for items such as New York Attorney or New York Law Universities, you will get a result of the top 10 websites on the first page of Google. You can then browse through the list to check the webpage with the most relevant information.
However, if you are looking to find quick facts or answers about something, for example – country, city, geography, or famous person, Google will give you the result from its built-in functions. The result is displayed at the top before the search results.
Google Search can also help you with a wide range of calculations and conversions. Simply type the query or function in the search box and you will get the result.
