About the Algebra Calculator
Algebra rewrites expressions into simpler or more useful forms. Expanding multiplies out brackets and collects like terms; factoring does the reverse, writing the expression as a product — the key step for solving equations and simplifying fractions.
Type an expression with any letters. The calculator expands it, collects like terms, factors out common factors (like 3xy) and, for one variable, finds linear factors from rational roots (x² − 4 = (x − 2)(x + 2)). It combines fractions over a common denominator, gives the degree and roots, and evaluates at values you give. Type an equation with “=” to solve it.
