The easiest way to check if your Num Lock is on is to look at the Num Lock key on your keyboard. It will usually have a light that illuminates when the Num Lock is activated.
If you can't see the light, or your keyboard doesn't have one, you can try typing a number using the number pad. If the numbers appear, your Num Lock is on. If letters appear instead, your Num Lock is off.
Here are some additional ways to check your Num Lock:
- Check your keyboard settings: Some operating systems allow you to view the status of your Num Lock key in your keyboard settings.
- Use a keyboard shortcut: On some keyboards, you can use a keyboard shortcut like Shift + Num Lock to toggle the Num Lock on or off.
Remember that the Num Lock key only affects the number pad, not the numbers on the top row of your keyboard.
