Order of Operations Calculator
What is the Order of Operations in Math?
As a powerful Math calculator, our application is designed to assist users in solving a wide range of mathematical problems, including those involving the order of operations. The order of operations, also known as the PEMDAS or BODMAS rule, is a fundamental concept in mathematics that establishes the sequence in which operations should be performed in an expression. This rule dictates that operations should be carried out in the following order:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication/Division (from left to right)
- Addition/Subtraction (from left to right)
One of the primary tasks our calculator excels at is evaluating expressions by adhering to the order of operations. Users can input complex mathematical expressions, and our calculator will automatically follow the PEMDAS rule to provide the correct result. For example, if the expression $3 + 4 \times 5 - 2^3$ is entered, our calculator will first evaluate the exponent ($2^3 = 8$), then perform multiplication ($4 \times 5 = 20$), followed by addition ($3 + 20 = 23$), and finally subtraction ($23 - 8 = 15$), yielding the correct answer of 15.
