2. Subtraction
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’.
