❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Are the numbers generated by this tool truly random?
They are pseudo-random, generated using a deterministic Mulberry32 mathematical algorithm. For a given seed, the sequence is completely reproducible.
Is this random number generator suitable for cryptographic security or passwords?
No. This tool is designed for educational, simulation, and gaming purposes. It is not cryptographically secure and should not be used for key generation, passwords, or financial lotteries.
How do I generate a new set of numbers?
Simply change the Seed / Draw # field to any other number (e.g., 43, 100, or 999). Each seed yields a distinct sequence.
What happens if I request more unique numbers than the range size?
The calculator validates this condition and displays an error message informing you to either expand the range or decrease the quantity.
Does this calculator work offline without internet access?
Yes. The algorithm executes entirely client-side in standard JavaScript without external API calls.
How accurate is the result?
Results use JavaScript's 64-bit floating point — accurate to 15+ significant digits for most calculations.
Can I enter decimal numbers?
Yes, decimals are fully supported.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free.
Does it show the formula?
Yes, the formula is displayed on the page.
Can I use it on mobile?
Yes, the calculator is fully responsive.
Does it save my inputs?
No data is stored — all calculations are done locally in your browser.
What if I get an error?
Check for invalid inputs such as division by zero or negative square roots.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • ⚠️Entering values in the wrong fields.
  • ⚠️Using commas instead of periods as decimal separators.
  • ⚠️Dividing by zero — this is undefined.
  • ⚠️Not selecting the correct mode (degrees vs radians for trig).
