What is the Order of Operations?

Back

A set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The order is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

What does PEMDAS stand for?

Back

PEMDAS is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). It helps remember the order of operations.
