Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- Candidates only, not verified roots. The full polynomial is required to test them; zero constant is excluded.
Example Calculation
- Nonzero constant coefficient: 6
- Nonzero leading coefficient: 2
Nonzero constant coefficient = 6; Nonzero leading coefficient = 2. Primary result: ±1/2, ±1, ±3/2, ±2, ±3, ±6.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter nonzero constant coefficient, nonzero leading coefficient. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
Any rational zero p/q in lowest terms has p dividing the constant and q dividing the leading coefficient.. Candidates only, not verified roots. The full polynomial is required to test them; zero constant is excluded.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
Are my inputs saved online?
No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
