Hello everybody!
In this video, I’m going to tell you about the Calculator in Windows 10 operating system.
I will make a brief review to tell you about the interesting functions it features, how
to install it and what to do if
it doesn’t start.
Of course, you can find Calculator in every version of Windows.
It’s a very useful tool, and if you ever used it, you might have noticed the interesting
functions it has.
The Windows 10 calculator provides you with a lot more functions than its previous versions.
Now you don’t need any other apps to convert currencies, units of volume, weight, area
and other things - the Calculator will do all that work for you.
To open it, click on the “Start” button and find the Calculator app if you search
by letter C. On your desktop, you can simultaneously have
several calculators opened in windows with adjustable size.
When you start it for the first time, the Calculator opens in a normal mode.
To choose another one, click on the menu button fashioned like three lines and open an additional
panel, where you can choose the mode you need from the list: Standard, Scientific, Programmer,
Date Calculation and Converter.
Switching between modes Depending on the difficulty of your calculations,
choose the corresponding mode.
Use Standard mode for basic math tasks, Scientific - for complicated calculations, Programmer
- for working with binary codes, Date Calculation - to work with dates, and Converter - to convert
units of measurement.
For example, if you need to work with complicated calculations, use the Scientific mode, as
the Calculator will work sequentially in the Standard mode.
As you can see, with the same conditions we get different answers, because in the Standard
mode the Calculator doesn’t observe the first rule of Math.
When you switch between modes, current calculations will be cleared, but the operating system
saves them in History and Memory.
In such modes as Standard, Scientific and Programmer you can save numbers into memory,
and History keeps all formulas you have used since the app was started.
To save a new number in memory, click the MS button.
To retrieve it from memory, click MR.
To show the list of numbers saved to memory click on M if you need to adjust the window
size to show the full list, for example.
To add or subtract a number saved in the memory, click on the buttons M+ or M-, accordingly.
To clear the memory, click on MC.
In the date calculation mode, you can quickly find out how many days there are in a selected
period between the two dates
Key shortcuts As well as in other programs, you can use
key shortcuts in the Calculator to make your work easier.
For example, by pressing the “@” key you can calculate the square root of the number
you have entered.
By pressing “Ctrl + L”, you can clear the app’s memory.
Converter Now let’s have a closer look at Converter.
Here, you can quickly convert one currency into another; all you have to do is to enter
the amount of the currency you need to convert into another one, for example, U.S. dollars
into rubles, euros, British pounds and so on.
Below, you can see the relevant exchange rate for the current date and time.
You can always click on “Update rates” if the date differs from the current one.
You can also learn how many gallons are in 5 liters.
As you can see, it’s a bit more than 1.09 gallon.
If you increase the volume, you can see how it corresponds with standard baths, pools
etc.
Weight and mass You can also work with weight and mass.
For example, you can see how many kilos there are in 100 pounds, 100 kg = 220 pounds.
Temperature You can convert temperature, for example,
from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and see that 1 degree Celsius is almost 34 degrees Fahrenheit.
Speed It’s easy to convert speed, for example,
from kilometers per hour into miles per hour; as you can see, 100 miles per hour is the
same as 160 kilometers per hour.
In the same way, you can quickly change the values to feet, centimeters per second, knots
and so on.
You can find out how many megabytes make up one gigabyte, or have a look at all the possible
units to measure data.
You can also use other converter parts.
For example, if you are looking for furniture online, find a good model on a website but
the dimensions are given in feet only, you can easily convert them into centimeters,
millimeters or another unit which you are using.
As you can see, there are many other units for converting: length, mass and weight, energy,
area, power, pressure, angle and so on.
When you work with the computer and you need to convert one unit of measurement into another,
you can always do it very quickly by using the Calculator in standard mode.
How to install the Calculator If you didn’t find the app on your computer,
don’t worry - you can install it easily.
First of all, try to find it by typing its name in the search field, and if it doesn’t
work, go to Microsoft Store - you can find it in the Start menu - and type “Windows

and then click on “Install.”
