computable

Can be calculated

Computable describes something that can be calculated or determined through a defined procedure.

In mathematics and computer science, a function or problem is computable if an algorithm can produce the answer in a finite number of steps: Whether a number is prime is computable.

The term marks a boundary—some mathematical questions are provably not computable, meaning no procedure can ever solve them.
