Google Built In Calculator & Converter

Google search form works in a smart way by searching the web for keyword queries and also perform some additional tasks like Calculating, Converting, Constants etc.,

As Google extend its limits search engines are smarter now.

Google search engine not only searches the internet but also does some smart works, one of them is calculating and computing. If you see the below video it shows the functionality.

This is Google Calculator
