Math Worksheet, Basic Arithmetic

Learn the basics of arithmetic operations, HCF, LCM and order of operations (BODMAS/BEDMAS) with this worksheet. Perfect for students and learners.

Worksheet

  1. Addition:
  • Addition of two numbers: a + b = c
  • Addition of multiple numbers: a + b + c + … = sum of all numbers

Subtraction:

  • Subtraction of two numbers: a – b = c
  1. Multiplication:
  • Multiplication of two numbers: a * b = c
  • Multiplication of multiple numbers: a * b * c * … = product of all numbers

Division:

  • Division of two numbers: a / b = c
  1. Highest Common Factors (HCF):
  • Finding HCF using prime factorization method:
  • Express both numbers as a product of prime factors.
  • The HCF is the product of common prime factors with the lowest powers.
  1. Lowest Common Multiples (LCM):
  • Finding LCM using prime factorization method:
  • Express both numbers as a product of prime factors.
  • The LCM is the product of all prime factors with their highest powers.
  1. Order of Operations and Brackets:
  • The order of operations, also known as BODMAS/BEDMAS, is used to perform calculations in a specific sequence:
  • Brackets
  • Order (exponents and roots)
  • Division and multiplication (left to right)
  • Addition and subtraction (left to right)

Example of expression evaluation:
a * (b + c) / d – e + f

  • Evaluate the expression within brackets first: (b + c)
  • Perform the multiplication: a * (b + c)
  • Perform the division: (a * (b + c)) / d
  • Perform the subtraction: ((a * (b + c)) / d) – e
  • Perform the addition: (((a * (b + c)) / d) – e) + f
