Key Concepts

Subtraction

Subtraction is an arithmetic operation that represents the process of taking one number away from another. In the context of the order of operations, subtraction is performed after operations like multiplication have been completed.

Multiplication

Multiplication is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations, where a number is added to itself a certain number of times. In any arithmetic expression, multiplication is performed before addition or subtraction unless grouped otherwise by parentheses.

Order of Operations

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which operations are performed in an arithmetic expression. It ensures that everyone evaluates the expression consistently, typically handling operations in the following order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.
