Quick guide
How to use the long addition calculator
- Enter one non-negative whole number or decimal in each labelled field.
- Add more fields when you need to total more than two numbers.
- Read the exact total and the place-value columns as soon as every entry is valid.
- Open the column steps to inspect each carry, or copy the exact result.
Exact decimal arithmetic
Why the decimal result remains exact
The calculator aligns every decimal place and adds the digits as integers. It does not convert your entries into ordinary browser floating-point numbers, so values such as 0.1 and 0.2 total exactly 0.3.
The result preserves the greatest number of decimal places entered. For example, 1.20 + 2.3 is displayed as 3.50, making the original decimal scale visible.
Worked example
Add 347.25, 89.90, and 2.85
Align the decimal points, add from the hundredths column toward the left, and carry whenever a column total reaches ten or more. The exact total is 440.00.
347.25 + 89.90 + 2.85 = 440.00
