Mathway Math Solver & Step-by-Step Calculator
Mathway shows the method, not just the answer.
Mathway is an AI-powered math solver and calculator that helps students work through problems in Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math, Linear Algebra, Chemistry, and Physics. Instead of just returning an answer, Mathway's step-by-step solver shows the full method behind every solution, so you can follow the logic and learn the process — not just copy the result.
You can type a problem directly, upload a photo of handwritten or printed work, or choose from Mathway's library of dedicated calculators for tasks like solving equations, factoring, taking derivatives, graphing functions, and running statistics. Mathway has helped solve more than 5 billion math problems, covering everything from a middle-school fraction question to a multivariable calculus proof.

Step-by-Step Solutions
Every answer comes with a full breakdown of the method used to solve it — not just the final result. Mathway's step-by-step math solver explains the reasoning at each stage, so algebra, calculus, and statistics problems become easier to understand over time, not just easier to finish.
Photo Math Solver
Take a picture of a homework problem, worksheet, or textbook page and let Mathway read and solve it. The photo math solver works across handwritten and printed problems, so you can get help without typing out complex equations by hand.
59+ Free Math Calculators
