+33616 Brackets Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
"Order" means operations like raising to a power. Because powers are often called exponents, I prefer the mnemonic PEMDAS:
Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction
These indicate the hierarchy of mathematical operations:
Brackets/Parentheses first
Order/Exponents next
Division & Multiplication next (doesn't matter which of these two is done first)
Addition & Subtraction last (also doesn't matter which of these two is done first)
