Detailed explanation-1: -A numeric keypad, number pad, numpad, or ten key, is the palm-sized, usually-17-key section of a standard computer keyboard, usually on the far right. It provides calculator-style efficiency for entering numbers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The base position keys for the right hand are: Index finger: J key. Middle finger: K key. Ring finger: L key.
Detailed explanation-3: -To use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, press Num Lock. Most keyboards have a light that indicates whether Num Lock is on or off. When Num Lock is off, the numeric keypad functions as a second set of navigation keys (these functions are printed on the keys next to the numerals or symbols).
Detailed explanation-4: -Why do keyboards need a numeric keypad? The numeric keypad’s layout makes it easier and faster to type numbers and perform calculations than using the top keyboard numbers. For example, someone could type “486+123” and press Enter with one hand (the right hand) quickly.
