Quick Calculation Using Spotlight

spotlight

Spotlight can be used to perform simple calculations, such as 12345*56789. Just type it in, and it spits out the answer.

Here is a quick rundown for keyboard mathematical symbols:

  • * is multiplication,
  • / is division,
  • ^ is to the power of (exponents),
  • ! is factorial,
  • and then of course there’s + and – for addition and subtraction.

Happy quick counting!
