The exact method behind this answer
CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.
Random fraction = seeded pseudo-random value in [0, 1). Decimal result = minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum). Integer result = floor(minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum + 1)).

Assumptions used
What this answer assumes
Transparent pseudo-random draw, not security-grade randomness.
The generator is deterministic for transparency and testing.
This page is not suitable for cryptography, gambling, lotteries or security-sensitive randomness.
Integer mode treats both endpoints as possible results.

Explain it like I'm 12
The random number generator maps a numeric seed into a repeatable pseudo-random fraction, then scales that fraction into the selected minimum-to-maximum range.

Formula
Random fraction = seeded pseudo-random value in [0, 1). Decimal result = minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum). Integer result = floor(minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum + 1)).
Worked example
For a 1 to 100 whole-number range, the seeded fraction is scaled across 100 possible integer outcomes, then floored to a visible draw.

Methodology & Accuracy
How this calculator is checked
CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.
Formula used
Random fraction = seeded pseudo-random value in [0, 1). Decimal result = minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum). Integer result = floor(minimum + fraction × (maximum − minimum + 1)).
Standard or basis
Standard basis: transparent pseudo-random arithmetic for educational, planning and demonstration uses.
Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.
