Built in keyboard calculator access

I have a keyboard with a calculator on the right side of my HP Pavilion dv7. How do I use it, please? Using Windows 7.

Hi,

It's a numeric keypad, not a calculator. If you wish to you those key for input NUMBERS you can press num lock key.

Hi Janet71,

Welcome to the forums. To add on to what Banhein said, you actually can use the numeric keypad as a calculator, if you open the Calculator application on your computer. Here's how to do that:

1. Click the Start icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.

2. Click All Programs, and then click the Accessories folder.

3. In the Accessories list, click Calculator.

A small window with a calculator appears on your screen. With that window selected, you can now use the numeric keypad as you would a calculator, or you can click the on-screen numbers and symbols. The calculations appear on-screen in the Calculator window. I hope this helps!
