Arithmetic operations

Arithmetic operations represent a set of the most demanded tools in engineering and household calculations for computing the value of some new number using one or several initial ones.

In the process of adding two or more addends, a sum is obtained. When subtracting the minuend from the subtrahend, a difference is found.

The result of multiplication, a generalized case for adding a series of identical (multiplicands) numbers, is the product. The multiplier is the number that indicates how many times the multiplicand needs to be summed.

The result of the inverse of multiplication, the arithmetic operation of division is the quotient. The operation involves the dividend and the divisor.

Repeated multiplication of the initial number n-th number of times ensures that it is raised to a power with the indicator n. When n = 2 the initial number is squared, when n = 3 - cubed. The sixth arithmetic operation of the set is the inverse of the operation of raising to a power, root extraction.
