Arithmetic Operations

Arithmetic operations are basic mathematical processes used to manipulate numbers. Addition combines two numbers to find their total. Subtraction finds the difference between numbers. Multiplication is a quick way to add a number to itself multiple times, effectively scaling the original number. Division splits a number into equal parts or finds how many times one number fits into another. These operations form the foundation for more complex math and are used daily—for budgeting, cooking, and measuring—helping us understand and work with quantities efficiently.
