What to Focus On

  • Without a fixed order, the same expression can give different answers.
  • Mathematicians follow a standard order to avoid confusion.
  • The standard order is given by the BODMAS rule.

  • BODMAS stands for Brackets, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  • 'Of' means multiplication and is done before division.
  • Division and multiplication are done from left to right.

  • 'Of' means multiplication.
  • It is done just after simplifying brackets.
  • Always convert 'of' into multiplication before solving.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Addition always comes before subtraction in BODMAS.

Multiplication always comes before division in BODMAS.

Brackets mean only parentheses ( ) and not other types like { } or [ ].
