BODMAS RULES -
"BODMAS" rules in mathematics. The correct and widely accepted acronym is either BODMAS or PEMDAS, which stands for:
BODMAS :-
B: Brackets (parentheses),
O: Orders (exponents and roots),
D: Division,
M: Multiplication,
A: Addition,
S: Subtraction,
OR
PEMDAS :-
P: Parentheses (brackets),
E: Exponents,
M: Multiplication,
D: Division,
A: Addition,
S: Subtraction,
Both BODMAS and PEMDAS represent the same concept, indicating the order of operations in mathematical calculations. They serve as guidelines to ensure consistent and unambiguous evaluation of mathematical expressions.
Brackets -
If some expression is enclosed within a pair of brackets, it means that it has to be simplified even before the other operations.
Types of Brackets -
There are four types of brackets.
They are :-
[ ] Square bracket or third bracket
{ } Curly bracket or second bracket
( ) Parentheses or Common bracket or first bracket
_____ Bar bracket
BODMAS Rule -
In order to remember the order of operations, we remember the acronym ‘BODMAS’
where:
B stands for "Brackets" O stands for ‘ of ’
D stands for "Division"
M stands for Multiplication A stands for Addition
S stands for Subtraction
These rules are followed in simplification of all numerical expressions involving natural numbers, fractions and decimals.
