Order of Operations with Integers

Front

What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed. The acronym PEMDAS is commonly used: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
