UNDERSTAND THE TOOL
Most everyday arithmetic comes down to a few operations used well: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These support common tasks such as comparing prices, checking bills, estimating quantities and understanding percentages.
Figure It applies the selected operation to the two values you enter. Addition combines quantities, subtraction finds a difference, multiplication scales a quantity, and division shows how many times one value fits into another.
The mathematical result may be exact while the real-world meaning still depends on units and rounding. Money is normally rounded to two decimal places; measurements may need more or less precision depending on the task.
If an item costs £48 and you want to split the cost equally between three people, divide 48 by 3 to get £16 each. To add a 20% allowance, calculate 48 × 0.20 = 9.60 and then add it to the original amount.
Some fractions do not terminate in decimal notation. Round the final value to a precision appropriate for the task.
Division by zero is undefined, so a calculator should reject that operation.
Yes for subtraction and division. Swapping the first and second values changes the result.
