arithmetic operations

Basic number manipulations

Arithmetic operations are the basic mathematical procedures: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

These four operations form the foundation of numerical calculation, from elementary school math to complex computing.

In programming, arithmetic operations also include modulo (finding remainders) and exponentiation: The processor performs millions of arithmetic operations per second.
