ADDITION
In addition, an augend and an addend are added to find a sum: 7 + 3 = 10
NOTE: Sometimes both the augend and the addend are called the addends. Sometimes the sum is called the total.
SUBTRACTION
In subtraction, a subtrahend is subtracted from a minuend to find a difference. In the following equation the 8 is the minuend, 2 is the subtrahend, and 6 is the difference. 8 - 2 = 6
MULTIPLICATION
In multiplication, a multiplicand and a multiplier are multiplied to find a product. In the following equation, 9 is the multiplier and 3 is the multiplicand, and 27 is the product. 9 x 3 = 27
NOTE: Sometimes the multiplicand and the multiplier are both called factors.0
DIVISION
In division, a dividend is divided by a divisor to find a quotient.
In the following equation, 12 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor and 4 is the quotient. 12/3 = 4
