The basic rules of arithmetic and algebra apply in most cases. That is:
Exponentiation is done first
Multiplication and division are done next
Finally, addition and subtraction are done.
If two or more operations with the same priority appear together in the same expression, they're handled in left to right order. Parentheses can be used to override the order of operations; expressions in parens are evaluated first.
For example, 2*4**2 - 8/4 would be evaluated this way:
Do the exponent first: 4**2 = 16. The expression is then 2*16 - 8/4
Next do the multiplication and division: 2*16 = 32 and 8/4 = 2
Do the subtraction last: 32 - 2, or 30.
The only possible difference is in division, IF you're using computer rules for integer operations. Because a fully integer-based expression can only be expressed as another integer, computers perform integer division by truncating any fractional remainder of a quotient. So for example a computer would evaluate 7 / 2 = 3, rather than 3.5. If the numbers were expressed as real numbers the answer would be correct in the algebraic sense, though: 7. / 2. = 3.5

What are the rules for every operation in integers?
There are an infinite number of operations for integer and different rules will apply for different operations. The question needs to be more specific.
Rules to subtracting integers?
4/9 - 6/36
What are the rules in adding integers with like and unlike signs?
To add integers with like signs you jut put the positive in front of the answer (you just add and put a positive sign in front of it)
What is the difference between adding and multiplying integers?
They are different operations, giving different results. Example: 1+1=2, 1*1=1.
What is the integer rules?
The rules of integers state:~ two negatives make a positive number~one negative and one positive makes a negative number~ two positives are simply positive numbers
What are the five integer rules?
I am not at all sure that there are any rules that apply to integers in isolation. Any rules that exist are in the context of binary operations like addition or multiplication of integers.
What are the rules for every operation in integers?
There are an infinite number of operations for integer and different rules will apply for different operations. The question needs to be more specific.
Which operations on integers are commutative?
Addition and multiplication are operations on integers that are commutative.
Use the rules for operations with integers to simplify the expression?
Give us the expression, and we'll have our staff begin work on it.
How are the rules for adding integers applied to operations with rational numbers?
You need the rules of multiplication as well as of addition. But multiplication of integers can be viewed as repeated addition. Thus, if p/q and r/s are two rational numbers then their sum is(p*s + q*r)/(q*s)
What is integers and order of operations?
Part 2
What are the rules governing operations of real numbers?
There are different rules for different operations.
What are the fundamental operations of integers?
I am not sure there are any fundamental operations of integers. The fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. However, the set of integers is not closed with respect to division: that is, the division of one integer by another does not necessarily result in an integer.
What are the Four kinds of fundamental operations in integers?
asa
What operations are closed for integers?
Addition, subtraction and multiplication.
What are the rules for dividing rational numbers are the same as the rules for dividing integers?
The rules are the same.
Rules in subtracting like and unlike sign?
to subtrct integers ,rewrite as adding opposites and use the rules for addtion of integers..
