What Is Tiger Algebra Calculator and What Can It Solve?

Updated

Tiger Algebra Calculator is a free online algebra solver that runs in your browser on both mobile and desktop, with no download or signup required. You type an equation or problem into the input box and press Solve to get a step-by-step solution. It fits students and self-learners who want to check homework answers or see how a problem is worked out, and it covers topics from basic arithmetic through quadratic equations and trigonometry.

How to use it

  1. Open tiger-algebra.com in any browser.
  2. Enter an equation or problem in the input field — for example 2x=8 or lcm(12,20).
  3. Press Solve.
  4. Read the step-by-step solution that appears.

The page also offers a camera input option, but the site itself notes that camera input is not recognized, so typing the problem is the reliable path. There is a Clear button to reset the input between problems.

What it can solve

The calculator groups problems into topic areas, each with Learn, Practice, and Quiz links so you can study the method before or after solving:

Topic Example inputs shown on the site
Order of operations 2+3*4, (8+4)/3
Least common multiple (LCM) lcm(12,20), lcm(18,24,30)
Greatest common factor (GCF) gcf(12,18), gcf(4,8,32)
Linear equations with one unknown 2x=8, 3x+2=7x-5
Percentages 20% of 80, 15 is what % of 60
Factorials 5!, 8!/5!

Beyond those headline topics, the site lists additional solvers for:

  • Solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula
  • Linear equations with two unknowns
  • Polynomial root calculator
  • Scientific notation
  • Simplifying radicals
  • Factoring trinomials
  • Polynomial long division
  • Reducing fractions to lowest terms
  • Arithmetic sequences
  • Trigonometry (exact values, unit circle, and graphs)

The "Latest Solved" feed on the page shows the range in practice — recent entries include an inequality like −1(n−16)−13 ≥ −1, a quadratic expression 2x²+14x+24 < 84, a limit lim(x→0)(sin(x)), and coordinate problems such as distance (3,4)(7,−8) and midpoint (4,5)(−5,−6).

What to expect from the output

Each solve returns a step-by-step walkthrough rather than just a final answer, which is the main reason to use it over a plain calculator. The site reports over 20 million problems solved, and the Learn / Practice / Quiz links attached to each topic let you move from seeing a worked example to testing yourself on the same type of problem.

Who it suits

  • Students checking homework and wanting to see the intermediate steps, not just the answer.
  • Self-learners who need a refresher on a specific method, such as factoring trinomials or simplifying radicals.
  • Anyone who wants a quick answer without installing an app or creating an account.

If your problem falls outside algebra — calculus beyond simple limits, statistics, or geometry proofs — the listed solvers won't cover it. For the topics above, typing the expression and pressing Solve is the fastest way to get both the result and the reasoning behind it.
