What is the order of operations?

Back

The order of operations is a set of rules to determine the sequence in which calculations are performed: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Often remembered as PEMDAS.

18 (First, calculate 5 x 3 = 15, then 4 - 3 + 2 + 15 = 18.)
