Description
A detailed tutorial on the use of Order of Operations. Step by step tutorial including few examples for reference. Knowledge of the Order of Operations is important for basic arithmetic.
Overview
The order of operations is better known as PEMDAS: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This means that you follow that order when solving a long equation, and if there is more than one set of a certain operation then you move in the order of left to right. You can use a mnemonic to remember PEMDAS. The most common one is Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, but if you like you can be creative and come up with your own!
