Oh, honey, let me break it down for you. The Stepped Reckoner, designed by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, could handle multiplication and division, while Pascal's machine could only do addition and subtraction. Basically, the Stepped Reckoner was like the cool kid on the block with more math skills than Pascal's machine could ever dream of.
It can add, subtract, multiply, divide and do square roots.
The four basic operations of arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
It was the first calculator that could perform all four arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
the first mass produced calculator is the arithmometer developed by Charles xavier thomas de colmar in 1820 in France. this device performed the same type of computations with leibniz's stepped reckoner but was more reliable
It did multiplication by repeated addition and shifting whereas Pascal's couldn't.
It did multiplication by repeated addition and shifting whereas Pascal's couldn't.
