The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
numeric keypad
A keypad that has become a standard feature of
PC keyboards, consisting of a rectangular array of 17
extra keys at the right-hand end: 0-9, ., Num Lock, /,
*, -, + and Enter. Apart from Num Lock, these
typically duplicate the function of other keys but are
designed to make entering basic numerical calculations as
quick as on a digital calculator. It is often possible to
assign completely different functions to these keys according
to the needs of a particular application.
