Back

The order of operations is 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). This is often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS.
