Arithmetic (all content)

Arithmetic is the branch of mathematics focusing on the study of numbers and the fundamental operations that can be performed on them: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It encompasses the concepts of whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Key topics include order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), properties of numbers (like factors and multiples), and the concepts of place value. Arithmetic serves as the foundation for more advanced mathematics, allowing for calculations and problem-solving in everyday life, financial transactions, and various scientific fields. Proficiency in arithmetic is crucial for developing analytical skills and engaging in logical reasoning.
