The Random Number Generator Calculator computes random number generator from the relation result = minimum + floor((maximum - minimum + 1) x fraction). It takes 3 inputs (minimum value, maximum value, random fraction between 0 and 1) and returns the random number generator. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with minimum value = 1, maximum value = 6, random fraction between 0 and 1 = 0.5, the random number generator works out to 4, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by CalculatorHub methodology, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified.
