Random Number Generator

Generate random numbers within a range

Inputs

Random Number Generator

Generate random numbers within a custom range. Perfect for games, lotteries, random selections, and testing.

Key Terms

  • Random Number: Unpredictable number generated by algorithm
  • Range: Minimum and maximum boundaries (min-max)
  • Pseudorandom: Computer-generated randomness (appears random but algorithmic)
  • Seed: Starting value for random generation (not used here)
  • Multiple Generation: Creating many random numbers at once

What Are These Terms?

Random Number

A number generated without predictable pattern. Computers use algorithms to create "pseudorandom" numbers that appear random for practical purposes.

Range

The minimum and maximum values define your range. For example, range 1-100 can generate any whole number between 1 and 100 (inclusive).

Multiple Generation

Instead of generating one number at a time, you can create multiple random numbers in one click - useful for lottery picks, team assignments, or A/B testing.

How Does The Tool Work?

Generation Method

Uses JavaScript's Math.random() algorithm:

  • Generates decimal between 0 and 1
  • Scales to your min-max range
  • Rounds to whole number
  • Repeats for count you specify

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Dice Roll

  • Min: 1, Max: 6, Count: 1
  • Result: 4
  • Perfect for board games

Example 2: Lottery Numbers

  • Min: 1, Max: 49, Count: 6
  • Result: 7, 23, 31, 42, 15, 38
  • Generate lottery ticket numbers

Example 3: Random Selection

  • Min: 1, Max: 100, Count: 10
  • Result: 45, 12, 89, 67, 3, 91, 28, 54, 76, 19
  • Select 10 random participants from 100

Common Use Cases

  • Dice games and simulations
  • Lottery number selection
  • Random team assignments
  • Prize giveaways
  • Password generation components
