Four fundamental operations
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Apply the four fundamentals of operation in solving problems on
fractions,decimals,whole and mixed numbers.
2. Inculcate the order of operation in solving problems involving four

fundamentals of operation.
Introduction
In this topic, you will learn about the many types of operations that exist.
Even the most complex mathematical theories use the four basic arithmetic
operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As a result,
mastering them is one of the keys to improving one's comprehension of
arithmetic, particularly algebra.
Addition
The most basic mathematical operation is addition. Addition combines two

quantities into a single quantity, or sum, in its most basic form.
Examples:
A. Adding whole numbers
How many apples are there in all?

Date Developed:
Shielded 0000
December 2020
Welding NC II
Perform Page 8
G.Cole
There are 7 apples in one basket and 4 apples in the other. So, we add 7
and 4 to find the total number of apples.
To add 7 and 4, we can count forward 4 steps from 7
The symbol used to indicate Addition is + (plus symbol).
So, 7 and 4 can be written as 7 + 4

Properties of Addition
Commutative property of addition: Changing the order of addends does

not change the sum. For example, 4 + 2 = 2 + 4
Notice how both sums are 6 even though the ordering is reversed.
Associative property of addition: Changing the grouping of addends does

not change the sum. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4 )
Keep in mind that parentheses instruct us to do something first. So here's

how we assess the left side:
( 2+3 )+4
=5+4
=9
And here's how we evaluate the right-hand side:
2+ (3+4)
=2+7
=9
Identity property of addition: The sum of 0 and any number is that number.
For example, 0 + 4 = 4.
This is true because the definition of 0 is "no quantity", so when we

add 0 to 4, the quantity of 4 doesn't change!

Subtraction
The opposite of addition is subtraction. To find the difference between two

quantities, we subtract one from the other instead of adding them together.

5−3=2
b.Subtracting Mixed numbers

Properties of subtraction
Closure property:
For any two whole numbers, a and b, if a > b then a – b is a whole number
and if a < b then a – b is never a whole number. Closure property is not
always applicable to subtraction.
E.g. 150 – 100 = 50, is a whole number but 100 – 150 = -50 is not a whole
number.
Commutative property: For any two whole numbers a and b, a – b ≠ b –

a . Hence subtraction of whole number is not commutative.
E.g 16 – 7 = 9 but 7 – 16 ≠ 9
Associative property:
For any three whole numbers a, b and c, (a – b) – c ≠ a – (b – c). Hence
subtraction of whole numbers is not associative.
E.g. 25 – (10 – 4) = 25 – 6 = 19
(25 – 10) – 4 = 15 – 4 = 11
This means that 25 – (10 – 4) ≠ (25 – 10) – 4
Multiplication
Multiplication also combines several quantities into a single quantity, which

is referred to as the product. Multiplication, in fact, can be conceived of as
the sum of numerous additions.
The number by which any number is multiplied is known as the

multiplicand. The result of the multiplication is known as the product

G.Cole
Examples:
a.Multiplication with decimals and whole numbers
Step 1: We arrange the two numbers so that the longer factor is on top and
the shorter factor is at the bottom.
Step 2: Solve the multiplication problem with whole numbers as usual.
Then, in the factor position, we count the digits that come after the decimal
point in the decimal and place the decimal point in the answer so that it has
the same number of decimal places after it as in the decimal.
b.Multiplying fractions by a whole number
=2
Start by rewriting the whole number (4 in this example) as a fraction, (4/1)

as follows…

1 2
Because you are multiplying a fraction by a fraction, you can apply

the rule and solve as follows…
4 1 4 2
4x1=4 and 1x2=2, so x equals , it can be simplified to ,which is
1 2 2 1
the same as 2.
Properties of Multiplication
Distributive property: The multiplication of a number by a sum is equal to

the sum of the multiplications of this number by each one of the amounts to
be added.
Example: 2 x (3 + 5)
According to the distributive property 2 x (3 + 5) will be equal to 2 x 3 +

2 x 5.
Lets check if this is true.
2 x (3 + 5) = 2 x 8 = 16
2 x 3 + 2 x 5 = 6 + 10 = 16
Both give us 16 as a result, which shows that the distributive property

of multiplication works.
Commutative property: The commutative property of multiplication says

that changing the order of factors does not change the product.
Example: 4×3=3×4, Notice how both products are 12 even though the

ordering is reversed.

Perform Page 14
G.Cole
Associative property: The mode of grouping the factors does not change
the result of the multiplication.
Example: ( 3x2 )x5 = 3x (2x5)
6x5 = 3x10
30 = 30
Neutral Element: 1 is called the identity of multiplication because every

number multiplied by itself is just the same number.
6x1=6
7x1=7 , any number that we multiply by 1 gives us the same result.
Removing a common factor: if various addends have a common factor, we

can transform the sum into a product by taking out this factor.
Example: ( 2x7 ) + ( 3x7 ) = 7 ( 2+3 )
The operation (2 x 7) + (3 x 7), which has 7 as a common factor, we can

transform this operation into 7 x (2 + 3).
(2 x 7) + (3 x 7) = 14 + 21 = 35
7 x (2 + 3) = 7 x 5 = 35
Division
Multiplication's inverse is division. You split a quantity into a smaller value,

called the quotient, rather than multiplying two or more numbers together
to create a bigger value.
Examples:
A.Long division method

B.Division of decimals
Example: 24.22 , When doing this calculation, create the following long
division.
The long division with decimals can be easily done just as the normal long
division. Ignore the decimal point and perform the division calculation.
Then, add the decimal point to the answer (quotient) in the same position.
The result is as follows.
C.Division of fractions
Example:
1st: Recopy the first fraction

2nd: Change the division sign to a multiplication sign.
3rd: Flip the second fraction.
4th: Multiply fractions using the rules above.
5th: Simplify if needed.

The PEMDAS Rule

What exactly is the PEMDAS Rule, and how does it apply to math order of
operations?
What is the PEMDAS rule for math operation order and problem solving?
When you study math, you will learn about a process known as the order of
operations. This is a rule that must be followed when solving math problems
with multiple operations such as subtraction, addition, multiplication,
division, groupings, and/or exponents.
The PEMDAS rule is the most popular memory trick for remembering the
math order of operations in the correct order.
PEMDAS Rule stands for:
P: Parenthesis
E: Exponents
M: Multiplying
D: Dividing
A: Adding
S=Subtracting
The operations included in the PEMDAS rule are performed left to right.
PEMDAS Rule: Key Points

For decades, the PEMDAS rule has been used to help students remember
the math order of operations. Many people prefer to remember the acronym
PEMDAS (pronounced PEM-DAHS), while others prefer the phrase Please
Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.

Perform Page 17
G.Cole
Important Sub-Rules to the PEMDAS Rule:
1.) P: Before doing anything else, perform operations within parenthesis or

groups (if there are no groups or parentheses, you can skip this step).
2.) E: After performing operations within parenthesis and groupings (if any),
apply any exponents (if there are no exponents, you can skip this step).
3.) M/D: After the parentheses, groups, and exponents, multiply/divide

from left to right (depending on which operation comes first).
Take note:The fact that M comes before D in the PEMDAS rule doesn’t
mean that you will always perform multiplication before division.
4.) A/S: Finally, after multiplying and/or dividing, add/subtract from left to
right (depending on which operation comes first).
Take note: The fact that A comes before S in the PEMDAS rule does not
imply that you will always perform addition before subtraction.
When to Use PEMDAS?
The PEMDAS method is used when a mathematical expression contains

more than one operation. PEMDAS in Math provides a proper structure for
producing a unique answer for each mathematical expression. When using
the PEMDAS method, there is a set of rules that must be followed. Once
you've mastered these rules, you'll be able to perform multiple tasks at once.
