An electronic hardware device or software capable of performing mathematical calculations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, or division. The Casio Computer Company developed the first electronic calculator in 1957.

Windows Calculator tips

Tip

By default, the Windows Calculator is set to Standard mode. The mode can be changed by clicking View in the top menu, then choosing Scientific. Scientific mode gives the user more options and abilities.

Note

In Windows 10, Calculator does not have a top menu. Instead, click on the button with three horizontal lines stacked vertically, near the top left of the window, and select Scientific.

Tip

By default, digit grouping in the Windows Calculator is disabled. Enabling this feature causes your long numbers to have commas. For example, instead of 10000000, it would display as 10,000,000. To enable this feature, click View in the top menu and select the Digit grouping option.

Note

In Windows 10, the Calculator uses digit grouping by default.

For Windows 7 and above users, Microsoft has included a

much more sophisticated calculator. As can be seen in the picture, several new features that have been highlighted and are not available in previous versions of Windows. Additional information and tips on this calculator is on our Windows 7 Calculator tips page.

Linux users

Users running Linux and Unix can run the bc command or dc command to open the calculator from the command line.
