Example data table

This sample shows how separate real and imaginary parts combine into one final sum.

Complex number Real part Imaginary part Rectangular form
z1 3 4 3 + 4i
z2 -1 5 -1 + 5i
z3 6 -2 6 - 2i
Total 8 7 8 + 7i

Example result: (3 + 4i) + (-1 + 5i) + (6 - 2i) = 8 + 7i

Formula used

For complex numbers written as zk = ak + bki, the total sum is found by adding all real parts together and all imaginary parts together.

z = (a1 + b1i) + (a2 + b2i) + ... + (an + bni) z = (a1 + a2 + ... + an) + (b1 + b2 + ... + bn)i |z| = √(x² + y²) arg(z) = atan2(y, x) conjugate(z) = x - yi

Here, x is the final real total and y is the final imaginary total. This calculator also reports modulus, argument, polar form, and conjugate of the sum.

Frequently asked questions

1) What does this calculator add?

It adds complex numbers written in rectangular form, where each number has a real part and an imaginary part. The tool combines matching parts and returns the final sum, modulus, argument, conjugate, and polar form.

2) How are complex numbers added?

Complex addition is performed by adding all real parts together and all imaginary parts together. The result remains a complex number in the form x + yi.

3) Can I enter negative values?

Yes. Negative real parts and negative imaginary parts are fully supported. This is useful for subtraction effects, direction changes, or algebraic expressions containing signed values.

4) Why does the calculator show modulus and argument?

These values help you understand the magnitude and direction of the final complex sum. They are especially useful when converting rectangular results into polar form or analyzing phasors.

5) What is the conjugate of the result?

The conjugate keeps the real part unchanged and flips the sign of the imaginary part. If the sum is x + yi, its conjugate is x - yi.

6) Do I need to fill all six complex number cards?

No. Only the cards containing values are used. You need at least two complex numbers for addition, while any remaining blank cards are ignored during calculation.

7) Does the calculator accept decimals?

Yes. You can enter integers or decimal numbers in any real or imaginary field. The output is formatted cleanly while keeping suitable precision for most classroom and practical tasks.

8) When should I download CSV or PDF?

Use CSV when you need spreadsheet analysis or records. Use PDF when you want a printable summary, shareable report, or a clean reference for homework and documentation.
