Random Number Generator

Enter the lowest and highest numbers and how many you need. The generator picks whole numbers in that range, each equally likely, with or without repeats: six numbers from 1 to 100 with no repeats, for example. Change the draw number for a new set; the same inputs always give the same set, so a shared link shows the same draw.

Working
  1. 100 possible whole numbers from 1 to 100, each equally likely.
  2. 6 drawn, each number at most once (draw number 1).
  3. Pseudo-random: fine for picking, sampling and games, not for passwords, security or official lotteries.

How It Works

Range size = highest − lowest + 1
Each draw = lowest + a random whole number from 0 to range size − 1
No repeats: a number already drawn is skipped and drawn again

Worked Example

Pick 6 numbers from 1 to 100 with no repeats:

  1. 100 possible numbers, each with a 1 in 100 chance
  2. Draw number 1 gives a set of six different numbers
  3. Change the draw number for another set

Chance of a Number Coming Up

Range Numbers drawn (no repeats) Chance a given number is picked
1 to 10 1 1 in 10
1 to 100 1 1 in 100
1 to 100 5 1 in 20
1 to 100 10 1 in 10
1 to 1,000 10 1 in 100

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick a random number between 1 and 100?

Set the lowest number to 1, the highest to 100 and how many to 1. Each of the 100 numbers has a 1 in 100 chance.

How do I get a new set of numbers?

Change the draw number to 2, 3, 4 and so on. Every draw number gives a different set, and going back to an earlier one gives that set again.

Can I use it to choose samples on site?

Yes. Number the items, such as bags, bars or concrete trucks, and draw the ones to test, so the choice is not biased. Keep the share link as a record of the draw.

Are the numbers truly random?

They come from a well-mixed pseudo-random formula, which is fine for picking, sampling and games. Do not use it for passwords, security or official lotteries.

What does no repeats mean?

Each number can come out only once, like drawing numbered balls from a bag. You cannot ask for more numbers than there are in the range.
