How to rng 1 to 4
Press Generate and the tool shows a random whole number from 1 to 4. Press it again, or press Space, for another number. Set How many numbers to pick several at once without repeats.
What are the chances for each number?
Every number from 1 to 4 has the same chance: 1 in 4, or 25.0%. 2 of the 4 numbers are odd, so an odd result comes up 50% of the time. Past results never change the next one, so the same number can come up twice in a row.
What can you use a number from 1 to 4 for?
Use it to pick one of four quiz answers (A to D), choose a seat at a table of 4, or decide which of four options to try first. Prefer to watch a wheel spin? Tick Spin on a wheel in the settings.
Other number ranges
For any other range, use the main random number generator.
Is it really random?
Yes. Every result comes from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, crypto.getRandomValues, the same source used for security keys. Nothing is decided in advance and nothing is stored on our server. See the live fairness test.
