The German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz built a Mechanical device that could both multiply and divide. He improved Pascal's machine in 1671. The machine was able perform all the four basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The draw back of this machine was that it was very slow.
