Using an optional external numeric keypad
Keys on most external numeric keypads function differently according to whether num lock is on or

When num lock is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
●
When num lock is off, most keypad keys function like the arrow, page up, or page down keys.
When num lock on an external keypad is turned on, the num lock light on the computer is turned on.
