Basic Arithmetic Keys, Parentheses T he four basic operators. Each is used in the same way as a standard calculator: + (addition), – (subtraction), x (multiplication), and ¸ (division). Finds the result in the same way as a standard calculator. Used to specify calculations in which certain operations have precedence. You can make addition and subtraction operations have precedence over multiplication and division by enclosing them in parentheses. 10
