Basic Math Operations

Python can do all basic math. Use + to add, - to subtract, * to multiply, / to divide. Special symbols: ** (power, like 2**3 = 8), % (remainder, like 10%3 = 1). Order matters: multiplication happens before addition (PEMDAS rule).

# Basic math operations
apples = 5
oranges = 3

# Addition
total_fruits = apples + oranges
print("Total fruits:", total_fruits)

# Multiplication
apples_per_box = 10
boxes = 4
total_apples = apples_per_box * boxes
print("Total apples:", total_apples)

# Division and remainder
pizza_slices = 8
people = 3
slices_per_person = pizza_slices / people
remaining_slices = pizza_slices % people
print("Each gets:", slices_per_person, "slices")
print("Remaining:", remaining_slices, "slices")
