A slide rule is a hand-operated mechanical calculator consisting of slidable rulers for evaluating mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, exponents, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry. It is one of the simplest analogue computers.

To use a slide rule to multiply 2 numbers together, move the decimal points for each number you are multiplying so they fall between the values of 1 and 10. Next, find the smaller number on the D scale and slide the C scale so the "1" on the far left lines up with the smaller number.

Slide rules are now mainly found in museums and collections, as their practical use has been replaced by modern electronic calculators and computer software.
