BODMAS is an acronym that helps remember the order of operations in mathematics. It stands for Brackets, Orders (like squares and square roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. Following this order ensures that calculations are performed correctly and consistently. When solving a mathematical expression, you start with any calculations inside Brackets, then move on to Orders. After that, you perform Division and Multiplication from left to right, followed by Addition and Subtraction. This systematic approach prevents confusion and errors in solving equations.
