Show transcript
When there are no brackets, multiplication and division are completed before addition and subtraction. Where there is a common factor, the other factors can be added or subtracted before the final multiplication. Where there is a common divisor, the dividends can be added or subtracted before the final division. Any part of an equation that is in brackets should be calculated first. In an equation, powers have priority over multiplication and division.
