2. The number you've stored in Memory will appear to the right of the number pad under Memory. (If you're using Calculator alongside another app, numbers in Memory will appear at the bottom of your screen.) You can store up to 100 numbers in Memory at a time.
3. To use numbers in Memory, tap or click the number in the Memory list. The number will appear in the calculator.
