About Complex number calculator

Work with numbers of the form a + bi: add, subtract, multiply, divide, and get the modulus, angle and powers. The modulus is the square root of a squared plus b squared. Handy for electrical engineering phasors, algebra homework and checking polar form results by hand.

How to use Complex number calculator

  1. Enter the real and imaginary parts of the first complex number.
  2. Choose an operation such as add, multiply, divide or power, and enter the second number if needed.
  3. Read the result along with its modulus and angle.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write a complex number in polar form?

Find the modulus r = sqrt(a squared + b squared) and the angle theta with atan2(b, a). The number is then r(cos theta + i sin theta), often shortened to r angle theta.

How do I divide complex numbers by hand?

Multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator. The denominator becomes a real number, a squared plus b squared, and you can split the result into real and imaginary parts.

What is the modulus of a complex number?

The modulus is its distance from zero on the complex plane, the square root of the real part squared plus the imaginary part squared. It is also called the absolute value or magnitude.
