SUBTRACTION
Minuend is the number from which another is to be subtracted. Subtrahend is the number to be subtracted. Difference is the
answer or the result in the process of subtraction.
Example:
5283. minuend
4997 subtrahend
----------
286 difference
MULTIPLICATION
Multiplicand refers to the number to be multiplied. Multiplier refers to the number of times another
number is to be multiplied. Product is the process of multiplication.
Example:
1937 multiplicand
× 86 multiplier

DIVISION
Divedend refers to the number to be divided into equal groups. Divisor refers to
the size of each group. Quotient refers to the number of groups resulting from
division.
Example:
The multiples of a number are those numbers that are divisible by the given
number.
Characteristics:
1. A number has an infinite number of multiples.
2. A number is always a multiple of itself.
Example: The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, . . .
Divisibility are ways of quickly determining factors without having to perform a
complete division.
An exponent is the number that indicates how many times a whole number is
used as a factor.
A symbol a/b, where a, b are the elements of whole nos. and b ≠ 0, is called a fraction.
The number above the bar is the numerator and the number below the bar is the
denominator. The word fraction is derived from the Latin word fraction meaning 'to break
into parts'.
KINDS OF FRACTIONS
1. If the addends have the same signs, add the numbers disregarding the
signs. The sign of the sum will be the common sign of the addends.
Example: +138 + +200 = 338
If the addends are different signs, subtract the smaller number from the
larger number and write the sign of the number.
Example: -285 + 100 = -185
SUBTRACTION
1. When two numbers of the same signs are multiplied, the product is
positive.
2. When two numbers of opposite signs are multiplied, the product is
negative.
