{{Short description|Numbers and the basic operations on them}} {{More citations needed|date=May 2023}} [[File:Arithmetic symbols.svg|thumb|The symbols for elementary-level math operations. From top-left going clockwise: addition, division, multiplication, and subtraction.]] '''Elementary arithmetic''' is a branch of [[mathematics]] involving [[addition]], [[subtraction]], [[multiplication]], and [[Division (mathematics)|division]].
