In Arithmetic there are four basic operations on numbers:-
  1.   Addition
     2.   Subtraction
  3.   Multiplication
  4.   Division


      1.   Addition:- The addition of two or more numbers is the total amount of those values combined.

Addend:- Addend is the number which is added to another.

      2.   Subtraction:- Subtraction is an arithmetic operation that represents the operation of removing objects from a collection.

Minuend:- The minuend is the number from which something is taken. Minuend must be the large number.

Subtrahend:- The subtrahend is the number that is subtracted and it must be the smaller number.

 Difference:- The outcome after applying the operation of subtraction is called the difference.

      3.   Multiplication:- Multiplication is the process of calculating the result when a number is taken be times.

Multiplicand:- The number to be multiplied is called the multiplicand.

Multiplier:- The number with which we multiply a number is called the multiplier.

Product or Factor:- The product is the result of multiplying , or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied.

      4.   Division:- Division means separating a large group into smaller groups of equal sizes. It is said that division is nothing but repeated subtraction.

Divisor:- Divisor is the number by which another number is to be divided.

Dividend:- The number which we divide is called the dividend.

Quotient:- The result obtained after the operation of division is called the quotient.

Remainder:- The number left over in a division problem is called the remainder.

Relation Between Dividend, Divisor, Quotient, and Remainder

Dividend = (Quotient × Divisor) + Remainder


The arithmetic operations and their parts have been illustrated below attractively.

Few examples of the arithmetic operations have been given in the video below.





Laws of operations:-

      1.   Commutative Law:- If the whole numbers being added are interchanged, the result remains the same, i.e. 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 =8. This rule is called ‘Commutative law’. Multiplication also obeys this rule. But subtraction and division do not obey this rule. e.g. 3 × 5 = 5 × 3 = 15, but 3 – 5 ≠ 5 – 3 and 3 ÷ 5 ≠ 5 ÷ 3.

      2.   Associative law:- In addition the manner of associating the whole numbers by using brackets does not change the answer. This is called ‘Associative law of addition’, e.g. (4 + 5) + 2 = 4 + (5 + 2) = 11.
Multiplication also obeys this rule but subtraction and division do not obey this rule
(4 × 5) × 2 = 4 × (5 × 2) = 40, but (4 – 5) – 2 ≠ 4 – (5 – 2) and (4 ÷ 5) ÷ 2 ≠ 4 ÷ (5 ÷ 2)

     3.   Distributive law:- It can be said that multiplication is “distributive” over addition as here we actually distribute multiplication over addition e.g.
           5(4 + 3) = 5 × 4 + 5 × 3 = 35

     4.   Law of closure:- When we add the natural numbers, we get a natural number again, e.g. (2 + 5) = 7. Thus, the set of natural numbers is closed under addition.
The set of natural numbers is closed for multiplication also but not for subtraction
(e.g. 2 – 6 = -4 is not a natural number).

  5. Identity element:- Addition of zero does not change the identity of a number (e.g. 6 + 0 = 6). Zero is called the ‘Identity element’. or ‘Additive Identity’. Multiplication of any number by 1 does not change it (e.g. 40 × 1 = 40). 1 is called 'Identity Element' or ‘Multiplicative Identity’.

The chart below describes it shortly and properly.
