Want this question answered?
the first calculator was invented by Blaise Pascal for his father so he could do tax collecting and so he could add them up faster.Blaise Pascal
I will say it was the pascaline, created by Blaise Pascal in 1642. It was a mechanical calculator that could add and subtract directly.
Blaise Pascal was educated by his father as his father didnt want Pascal to be overworked. He wouldnt allow Pascal to undertaje a subject until he knew that he could master it. Hope that helped :D
Pascal
The ancient Romans developed an Abacus. Blaise Pascal, however, was a French mathematical genius, and at the age of 19, he invented a machine, called the Pascaline, that could do addition and subtraction. He invented this machine to help his father, who was also a mathematician.
Pascal created his Pascaline, or mechanical calculator, at the age of 21. The boxy machine used a system of gears, numbered discs, and wheels to conduct calculations. It could add and subtract mechanically. It could divide or multiply only through labor-intensive repetition. It is considered one of the most important devices in Renaissance mathematics.
No, the very first mechanical calculators could only add and subtract. The first mechanical calculators were invented in 1623 by Wilhelm Schickard, followed by the Pascaline, invented in 1645 by Blaise Pascal. However, calculators that could multiply and divide were in use by the 19th century.
Leibniz's calculator could multiply and divide as well as add and subtract. The pascaline calculator could only add and subtract.
He was a mathematician who developed the "Pascaline." This was the first mechanical adding machine. The Pascaline was wooden box that could add and subtract by using a series of gears and wheels.
The first mechanical counting device was invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642. It was primarily used as an adding machine. It could add and subtract two numbers.

Blaise Pascal's greatest invention was the Pascaline invented in 1742 which was a basic calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Before this was made there were 50 prototypes. Blaise made 20 others during the 1740's .The Pascaline inspired other calculators to be made but the most important was the microprocessor made in the 20th century. The microprocessor is in every modern computer today. I am Thomas Salisbury
