Some keyboards have and don't have the Num Lock key. If there is then just press the Num Lock or NmLk key. Sometimes you have to hold the Fn button with the Num Lock key. If there is no Num Lock key on your keyboard then just follow these steps: START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> ACCESSORIES -> ACCESSIBILITY -> ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD -> NLK.
Hold ALT and press the key with the 9 inside the lock. (above the 7 key on the number pad.)

It is the key marked: Num Lock. There should be a light showing on the keyboard when the Num Lock has been pressed and the numeric keypad can be used.
To switch off the Num Lock, simply look for the Num lock key on your computer's keyboard, and make sure it is set t off. (You can do this by pressing the key and then trying to type on the number pad on the right-hand side of your keyboard; if it's on, those keys won't work).
A toggle key is a key on a keyboard that switches between two states, typically on and off. Examples of toggle keys include the Caps Lock key and the Num Lock key. When pressed once, the key will activate a state, and pressing it again will deactivate that state.
Switch on the 'Num lock' and press and HOLD the 'Alt' key, now type 236 on the num-lock keypad. Release 'Alt' key = Infinity symbol '∞'
The num Lock key makes the number pad work for inserting numbers instead of doing the other commands which are printed below the number.
If the Numeric Lock (Num Lock) key is disabled, the numeric keypad will not function for entering numbers. Instead, the keys on the numeric keypad will typically perform their alternate functions, which often include navigation keys like arrows or editing commands. This means that pressing keys on the numeric keypad will result in different actions rather than inputting numeric values. To use the numeric keypad for numbers again, the Num Lock key must be enabled.
