BODMAS RULE IN MATHEMATICS

 

What is BODMAS ?

The evaluation of an expression involving numbers is one of the basic tasks in arithmetic. If an expression contains addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (x), division (÷), bracket (), and Of (of), then the precedence of simplification of the operation is given by “BODMAS rule”. First, we have to know that what is BODMAS rule? Or What is BODMAS formula?

BODMAS rule is a rule or order that is used to simplify the arithmetic expression involving more operators in mathematics. When an equation involving more operators first we have to know that in which order we have to solve the expression. This problem is solved with the help of BODMAS rule.

BODMAS Rule

The full form of BODMAS is:

  • Brackets (Parts of a calculation inside the bracket always come first).
    Precedence of brackets are : [{(bar)}]
  • Orders (powers and square roots)
  • Division
  • Multiplication
  • Addition
  • Subtraction

Each letter of the word stands for the first letter of an operator. If an expression involving two or more similar operators that appear in succession, then the precedence is from left to right. By using BODMAS, we can evaluate an expression in the correct order of precedence.

Anything inside the bracket is done first. Then evaluate any powers or roots. Next, do any division or multiplication in an expression working from left to right and then followed by addition and subtraction again from left to right. Here, division and multiplication have the same priority and addition and subtraction have the same priority.

What is BODMAS Rule in Maths?

Mathematics is a logic-based discipline. In arithmetic, an expression or an equation involves two components namely,

  • Numbers – A number is a mathematical value which is used for representing a particular quantity and it is used in counting and making calculations. The symbol that represents a number is called a numeral. According to the property, numbers can be classified as
    1. Natural Numbers
    2. Integers
    3. Rational Numbers
    4. Irrational Numbers
    5. Real Numbers
    6. Complex Numbers
    7. Imaginary Numbers
  • Operators or operations: An operator is a character which combines two numbers and produces an expression or equation. The most common operators used in mathematics are :
    1. Addition (+)
    2. Subtraction (-)
    3. Multiplication (x)
    4. Division (÷)

In mathematics, the order of operations or the operator precedence is given by BODMAS rule. The symbol used for grouping the value is a bar. Grouped symbols are treated as a single expression.

Probability

 Probability Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one. Probability has been introduced in Maths to predict how likely events are to happen. The meaning of probability is basically the extent to which something is likely to happen. This is the basic probability theory, which is also used in the probability distribution, where you will learn the possibility of outcomes for a random experiment. To find the probability of a single event to occur, first, we should know the total number of possible outcomes.

Pascal's Triangle Pascal’s Triangle  is a kind of number pattern.  Pascal’s Triangle is the triangular arrangement of numbers that gives the coefficients in the expansion of any binomial expression.  The numbers are so arranged that they reflect as a triangle. Firstly, 1 is placed at the top, and then we start putting the numbers in a triangular pattern. The numbers which we get in each step are the addition of the above two numbers. It is similar to the concept of  triangular numbers .  In this article, we are going to learn Pascal’s triangle history, definition, properties, patterns, formulas and examples with complete explanation. Table of contents: History Definition Construction How to use Patterns Properties Formula Expansion FAQs Pascal’s Triangle History Blaise Pascal was born at Clermont-Ferrand, in the Auvergne region of France on June 19, 1623. In 1653 he wrote the Treatise on the Arithmetical Triangle which today is known as the  Pascal’s Triangle . Although other mathe
