Did you know?

We do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.

Parentheses tell us to do that part first: (2 + 3) × 4 = 20.

Understand Order of Operations before you start

Read this if you're new to the topic—it will help you know what to do in each problem.

When an expression has more than one operation, we follow the order: parentheses first, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction.

Example: 2 + 3 × 4 = 2 + 12 = 14 (multiply first, then add). With parentheses: (2 + 3) × 4 = 5 × 4 = 20.

Examples

2 + 3 × 4 = 14

(6 − 2) × 3 = 12
