Virtual address page number calculator

The Virtual address page number calculator computes virtual address page number from the relation page number = floor(address / page size). It takes 2 inputs (virtual address, page size in bytes) and returns the page number. These calculators are for network and systems administrators, software and hardware engineers, and computing students, turning a stated value, address, string or configuration into the exact figure, code or encoding that the rule behind it produces, without working it through by hand. Enter your values below and the result updates instantly, and you can share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation. Check the base, unit and width of each input before entering it: hexadecimal against decimal, bits against bytes, binary against decimal prefixes, and 0-based against 1-based positions are the usual sources of a wrong answer here, and a result that is out by a neat factor is far more often one of those than an arithmetic slip. For example, with virtual address = 0, page size = 4096 bytes, the page number works out to 0, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. This is a standard formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, so it does not depend on an external rate or schedule, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified. The result follows the definition and the exact values you supply, so it can differ from what a live system reports: reserved and unusable values, protocol and filesystem overhead, the width and precision of the data type actually in use, and the conventions a particular language, device or display applies all sit outside the calculation, so confirm the figure against the environment it will be used in.

With Virtual address = 0, Page size = 4096 bytes, the result is 0.

The formula

page number = floor(address / page size)

Worked example

With Virtual address = 0, Page size = 4096 bytes:

  1. page number = floor(address / page size)
  2. Page number = 0

This worked example is one of the automated golden-value tests this calculator must pass before it can publish.

What this assumes

  • Inputs are real numbers in the units shown.
  • The result is the exact value of page number = floor(address / page size); general information, not professional advice.

Frequently asked questions

What formula does this use?

page number = floor(address / page size). This is a standard formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule.

Does the result ever change over time?

No. This is a pure formula with no external rate, so the same inputs always give the same result.
