Arithmetic

Numbers, fractions, percentages and the order of operations.

Arithmetic is where every other branch gets its numbers. Type any calculation and watch it evaluated one operation at a time, brackets first, then powers, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction.

Preguntas que la gente hace

Why does the order of operations matter?

Because 2 + 3 × 4 would otherwise be two different numbers. The convention (brackets, exponents, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction) exists so every reader gets the same value from the same expression.

How do I check an arithmetic answer?

Estimate first (round every number and compute roughly), then compare. If the estimate and the exact answer disagree by more than a little, one of them is wrong. The solver shows every operation, so you can find which line went astray.

Why are fractions harder than decimals?

They are not harder, they are more exact: 1/3 is a precise number, 0.333 is an approximation. Fractions need a common denominator to add, which is the one extra step people trip on.
