When needed to calculate . You do that straightaway or use a calculator?

Hi Mdaazam,

When I am looking for the calculation I should
not need to use any calculator and also I am doing all this
by mentally, because of the good arithmetic calculation skills.
When the calculation really need high numbers then of course I would
need the help from the calculator, and don't required the calculator
for the simple calculation. So the calculation all depends upon the
mental work and sometimes it would helps lot to make the calculation
very easily.

Have a nice day.

well i dont us calculator for simple calculations like addition subtraction multiplication and division. well it sometimes take time when the numbers are odd like 738 or that sort of numbers well i was always good at arithmetic since my cousin beat me in calculation when we where about 10 year old well i understand that harder we work the luckier we get

In simple mathematics I do straight calculations but if there are 2-3 digits involve I use a calculator to avoid miscalculations especially on money matters.

If the problem can be solved by just my fingers and toes, I'm fine without the calculator. lol. But seriously, I'd love doing the calculations manually. I really squeeze my brain to answer math questions just so I can say I answered it on my own. but if it already contains the alphabet and the unknown symbols, I'd definitely go consult my calculator...hehehe. happy MyLotting!!!

These depends also on how much far you access to calculater.. when i do some calculation I prefer my mind to calculate it.. but whenever i am on computer or have mobile in front of me... i use them... for easy calculation too..

i usually calculate on my mind...hehe but of course with easy one only, i mean those that just need the use of the basic of calculation...hehe like + & - ... and with the help of my fingers, sometimes!...hehe
but, when its a long calculation, i will use my phone's calculator & if its not available, a paper & pen will do for me...huh!

generally if I want to get an exact number I will use the calculator. Lots of times though when I am talking to my friends on the phone about something financial I will just do a rounding calculation in my head. like if you had say 27 times 16 (simple example) round off to 25 times 15 then do 10 times 25 and 5 times 25, since these equate easily to US money it is easy 250+125= 375 and since we rounded down for both you add 50= 425 and the actual answer is 432, close enough for an estimate. generally it is not best to round both down, but like I said if it matters I go get the calculator.

Hi, it depends what i need to calculate. If its a bit complex i would use a calculator, if not i just do it straightaway. Although it also depends on how im feeling. Sometimes im just unable to do simple calculations.

If it is only for simple calculations, I compute it mentally. If it would already involve very big sums or figures, I don't rely on doing it mentally. I always need the help of the calculator to do that. It is now very easy to do that with the use of our cellphones because they have the calculator feature available there. To be more confident of arriving at a correct computation, it is really appropriate to use a calculator.

Since I am an accounting graduate, I dont have a hard time calculating simple computations like 6x7 or 230+60. In our primary years in school, we were asked to memorize the multiplication table, factors 1 to 10. We were even taught how to add, subtract using our mind only, a mental calculation. But if it involves the interests of investments for several years, the shares of each partner, I use calculator due to its complicated computation. It involves the MDAS (Multiplication,Division, Addition and Subtraction). Math involves mastery, so that's the number one secret. Try it, you'll find it easier.
