Range Calculator
Find the Difference Between the Largest and Smallest Number
About the Range Calculator
The Range Calculator is a simple tool that calculates the statistical range of a set of numbers. The range is defined as the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset.
For example, if you input 8, 3, 14, 6, the calculator will identify the minimum value as 3 and the maximum as 14. The range is then calculated as 14 − 3 = 11.
This tool is especially useful in statistics and data analysis to quickly assess how spread out a dataset is. A large range indicates a wide variation in the data, while a small range shows the values are closely grouped.
It supports both integers and decimal numbers. The calculator automatically ignores invalid inputs and spaces, ensuring smooth operation for most number lists.
