Bitwise NAND calculator

Apply NAND to two integers and read the result as unsigned decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and 32-bit padded binary. NAND computes AND on both 32-bit words and then inverts every bit in the result.

Universal logic

NAND is a universal logic gate: any other boolean operation can be constructed from NAND gates alone. In software it is less common than AND, OR, or XOR, but the behaviour is predictable. NAND of a value with itself is equivalent to NOT of that value.

Fixed 32-bit word

The inversion step makes the word size critical. This page fixes the word at 32 bits, so all results reflect a 32-bit unsigned NOT. Input accepts decimal, hexadecimal (0xFF), binary (0b10110010), and octal (0o377) automatically. For a different word size, use the full Bitwise Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

NAND is AND followed by NOT. Because NOT inverts every bit in the word, the result changes based on how many bits are in use. On a 32-bit word, NAND of 0 and 0 is `0xFFFFFFFF` (4294967295 unsigned).

It outputs 0 only when both inputs are 1. For inputs 0/0, 0/1, and 1/0, the output is 1.

Yes. In hardware design, connecting NAND gates in a feedback loop creates a flip-flop, which is the foundational circuit for storing 1s and 0s in computer memory.
