Basic Arithmetic Operations

There are 4 basic arithmetic operations : Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.

1) Addition : 

Adds Numbers together

Addition symbol '+'

eg : 1 + 2 = 3, here 1 & 2 are the addends, '+' is the operation symbol, '=' is the equality symbol and 3 is the sum/ total.

       16 + 33 = 49

2) Subtraction :

Taking a number away from another

Subtraction symbol '-'

eg: 3 - 2 = 1, here 3 is the minuend, 2 is the subtrahend and 1 is the difference.       

      100 - 50 = 50

3) Multiplication: 

Product of numbers

Multiplication symbol '*' in computer and an 'x' in books

eg : 3 * 2 = 6, here 3 is the multiplier, 2 is the multiplicand and 6 is the product

       15 * 16 = 240

4) Division : 

Splitting a number into parts

Division symbol '/ ' in computer

eg : 10 / 2 = 5, here 10 is the dividend, 2 is the divisor and 5 is the quotient

       75 / 5 = 15

NOTE : You cannot divide a number by '0' .
