operations
• mathematical procedures or processes
used to work something out.
EXAMPLES:
common operations
augend + addend = sum
minuend − subtrahend = difference
multiplicand × multiplier = product
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
baseexponent = power
degree√radicand = root
logbasepower = exponent
Note: Due to the commutative property of addition,
use of the word ”augend" for the first term in addition
is rarely used today,
and both terms are usually called addends.
