The calculator can solve math problems involving basic arithmetic, more complicated math, units of measure and conversions, and physical constants.
Samples:Currency ConversionResults PrefetchingGoogle uses a
special prefetching feature in Firefox and Mozilla web browsers to provide this functionality, so results prefetching is not available in Internet Explorer or other web browsers. You can disable prefetching in your web browser preferences, as described in the
Mozilla Prefetching FAQ. In Firefox, you can disable prefetching by doing the following:
- Type "about:config" the address bar.
- Scroll down to the setting "network.prefetch-next" and set the value to "False".
With prefetching enabled, you may end up with cookies and web pages in your web browser's cache from web sites that you did not click on since prefetching happens automatically when you view Google search results pages. You can delete these files by clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
