Arithmetic Operations
The four basic arithmetic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division - are the mathematical functions you will use most often when solving problems with your calculator.
Basic Arithmetic Keys
The [ + ], [ - ], [ × ], and [ ÷ ] keys perform the four basic arithmetic functions. When you use a combination of these functions in an expression, the AOS™ system keeps track of the priorities and causes the functions to be performed in the correct order.The [ = ] key completes all pending operations and displays the result of a calculation.
