arithmetic
Basic math operations
Arithmetic is the branch of mathematics dealing with basic operations on numbers—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
It's the math most people learn first and use daily: balancing a checkbook, splitting a bill, calculating a tip.
Do the arithmetic and you'll see we can't afford it.
By extension, arithmetic can mean any practical calculation of costs and benefits: the arithmetic of electoral politics.
