BODMAS Calculator 

BODMAS calculator is used to find the result of math expressions by following a sequence of operations. This BODMAS rule calculator takes the math expression and gives the result in a fraction of seconds.

What is BODMAS?

BODMAS is a general technique that is used to remember the correct sequence of mathematics symbols while solving math expressions. The BODMAS stands for:

• B = brackets
• O = order
• D = division
• M = multiplication 
• A = addition
• S = subtraction 

How to solve math expressions using the BODMAS rule?

To solve a math expression by using the BODMAS rule, follow the steps below.

• First of all, solve the brackets present in the math expression.
• Solve the order or exponent terms of the math expression.
• After this, solve the division and multiplication operations from left to right.
• Lastly, solve the addition and subtraction operations from left to right.

If there is more than one similar operation present in the math expression, then solve the leftmost operation first. The BODMAS is almost similar to the PEMDAS. 

Let’s take a solved example of the BODMAS rule to understand the concept accurately.

Example 

Solve 12 * 3 + (4 – 2) – 4^2 + 18 / 3

Solution 

Step 1: Solve the bracket.

= (4 – 2)

= 2

The equation becomes

12 * 3 + 2 – 4^2 + 18 / 3

Step 2: Solve the order or exponent term.

4^2 = 4 x 4

       = 16

The equation becomes

12 * 3 + 2 – 16 + 18 / 3

Step 3: Solve the division and multiplication operation from left to right.

12 * 3 + 2 – 16 + 18 / 3

36 + 2 – 16 + 18 / 3

36 + 2 – 16 + 6

Step 4: Solve the addition and subtraction operations from left to right.

36 + 2 – 16 + 6

38 – 16 + 6

22 + 6

28

Hence,

12 * 3 + (4 – 2) – 4^2 + 18 / 3 = 28
