Understanding Random Number Generation
Our tool uses a hybrid randomization method combining browser cryptographic functions with high-quality pseudo-random algorithms. When available, we use window.crypto.getRandomValues() for cryptographically strong values, falling back to an optimized Mersenne Twister implementation.
Note: True randomness can sometimes appear patterned to human perception. Clusters or repetitions are normal in random distributions - they don't indicate a flawed algorithm.
Number Generation Methods Compared
| Method | Speed | Uniformity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math.random() | Very Fast | Good | Simple games, basic needs |
| Crypto API | Medium | Excellent | Security-sensitive apps |
| Mersenne Twister | Fast | Excellent | Scientific simulations |
| Our Hybrid | Fast | Excellent | Most applications |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these numbers truly random?
Our generator uses cryptographic-quality sources when available (in modern browsers), producing numbers statistically indistinguishable from true randomness. For most purposes (games, sampling, etc.), they're effectively random.
Why do I sometimes see repeating numbers?
With the "unique only" option off, repeats are normal in random sequences - just like rolling the same number twice on a die. Enable "unique only" to prevent duplicates in your results.
Can I use this for lottery number selection?
While you can generate lottery-style numbers, we don't guarantee they'll be lucky! Our tool is for entertainment purposes only. Always check local gambling laws.
What's the largest range I can generate?
You can generate numbers between -9,999,999 and 9,999,999. For scientific work requiring larger numbers, consider specialized statistical software.
How are decimal numbers randomized?
Decimal numbers are generated with uniform distribution across your specified range, then rounded to your chosen decimal places. Each decimal position is randomized independently.
