January 5, 2012

The calculator is, no doubt,  an important tool but in earlier versions of Windows, it was limited to performing only restricted calculations.

In this article, lets take a look at 7 unique uses of Windows 7 calculator and learn how you can do more calculations in less time.

7 Unique Uses of Windows 7 Calculator

Before I get started, remember, you can pin the calculator to the taskbar, if you use it frequently.

The Windows 7 calculator lets you compute things such as number format conversion (hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary) and data type conversion (BYTE, WORD, DWORD, QWORD) in the programmer mode. To access this mode, open up the calculator and then click the View menu and choose Programmer.

2. Perform Unit Conversions

The Windows 7 calculator also lets you compute angles, area, energy, length, power, pressure, temperature, time, velocity, volume, and weight/mass conversions. For example, to convert 350 degree Celsius to Fahrenheit, from the View menu choose Unit Conversion. The Calculator expands to the right displaying additional options. From the Select the type of unit you want to convert drop-down list, select Temperature. In the From text box, type 350 and select Degree Celsius. In the To section, from the drop-down list, select Degrees Fahrenheit. The result is displayed in the To text box.

Whether you are looking to convert pounds to ounces or kilograms, gallons to quarts, or square feet to square miles don’t go looking for online calculators. The solution is right there in your Windows 7 calculator.
