What is the Order of Operations in mathematics?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that dictates the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The acronym PEMDAS is often used to remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
