using the iPhone calculator for algebraic equations

I want to perform algebraic calculations to solve equations with the Calculator app on my iPhone 14 using iOS 18.2. Example: 33-3+(3) over (or divided by) 33-3(1+5).

Is it possible or do I need a 3rd party app?


iPhone 14, iOS 18

Thanks for your reply. I figured it out after I posted the question. The actual way of entering the equation into the Calculator app is to choose Scientific calculator and enter: (33-3+(3))/(33-3(1+5)). The answer is 11|5 or 2.2


You must group the nominator with ( ) and same with the denominator.
