Operations such as addition and subtraction
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
It was around this time when Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz invented the stepped reckoner.
The Step Reckoner, invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the 17th century, was an early calculating machine designed to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It used a series of cylinders and gears, where each cylinder represented a digit in a number. By turning the handle, the machine engaged the gears to carry out calculations mechanically, with the result displayed through a series of dials. This innovative device laid the groundwork for future mechanical calculators.
a rekoner is a machine
Archimedes is said to have invented exponents to express very large numbers. A passage from The Sand Reckoner is offered as evidence. To say that he invented exponents is a stretch of the facts; but he was aware of the concepts involved.

The Stepped Reckoner, invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, was capable of performing all four basic arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with handling calculations involving variable quantities. In contrast, Pascal's machine, the Pascaline, was primarily designed for addition and subtraction. The Stepped Reckoner featured a more complex mechanism that allowed for greater versatility in calculations, including the ability to perform multiplication through repeated addition and similar operations. This made the Stepped Reckoner a more advanced and flexible calculating device compared to Pascal's invention.
