📐 Important Formulas for Basic Operations
Integer Operations
Addition of Integers:
\[ a + b = \text{sum} \]Subtraction of Integers:
\[ a – b = a + (-b) \]Multiplication of Integers:
\[ a \times b = ab \]- Positive × Positive = Positive
- Negative × Negative = Positive
- Positive × Negative = Negative
Division of Integers:
\[ a \div b = \frac{a}{b} \]- Same signs = Positive result
- Different signs = Negative result
Fraction Operations
Addition/Subtraction of Fractions:
\[ \frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + bc}{bd} \]Multiplication of Fractions:
\[ \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd} \]Division of Fractions:
\[ \frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{ad}{bc} \]Decimal Operations
Converting Fraction to Decimal:
\[ \frac{a}{b} = a \div b \]Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
\[ \text{Parentheses} \rightarrow \text{Exponents} \rightarrow \text{Multiplication/Division} \rightarrow \text{Addition/Subtraction} \]📝 Test Instructions
