Two elementary formulae for Mertens function $M(n)$ are obtained. With these formulae, $M(n)$ can be calculated directly and simply, which can be easily implemented by computer. $M (1) \sim M (2 \times 10^7) $ are calculated one by one. Based on these $2\times 10^7$ samples, some of the complicated properties for Mertens function $M(n)$, its 18144 zeros, the 11040 local maximum/minimum between two neighbor zeros, and the relation with the cumulative sum of the squarefree integers, are understood numerically and empirically.
