Work out order of operations (pemdas) instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
PEMDAS is the American form of the same rule: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division left to right, then Addition and Subtraction left to right. It gives identical answers to BODMAS.
PEMDAS order
Parentheses → Exponents → Multiplication/Division (left to right) → Addition/Subtraction (left to right)
16. The bracket gives 4, then 8 ÷ 2 = 4 and 4 × 4 = 16, because division and multiplication are worked strictly left to right.
Only in naming. Orders and Exponents mean the same thing, and both treat multiplication and division as equal in rank.
