Ever wondered whether a formula “adds up”? This tool answers one plain question: do the units match? Pick a couple of quantities (distance, time, a speed…), join them with ×, ÷, +, or =, and press Run. It works out the resulting unit — for example distance ÷ time gives a speed, LT⁻¹ (metres per second) — and flags anything that can’t be right, like adding a length to a time.

“A” is analysed by expanding its full defining equation (its children and their relations), not as a bare symbol. Use Check this concept’s units above for the same result.
