Calculator 2nd Power and Order of Evaluation



6^2-(2 * 7 + 4^2) = 6

Spelled out: six.

Calculation steps

  1. Exponentiation: 6 ^ 2 = 36
  2. Multiply: 2 · 7 = 2 · 7 = 14
  3. Exponentiation: 4 ^ 2 = 16
  4. Add: the result of step No. 2 + the result of step No. 3 = 14 + 16 = 30
  5. Subtract: the result of step No. 1 - the result of step No. 4 = 36 - 30 = 6
This calculator performs basic and advanced operations with decimals, real numbers, and integers. It also shows detailed step-by-step information about the calculation procedures. Solve problems with two, three, or more decimals in one expression. Add, subtract and multiply decimals step-by-step. This calculator can add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive or negative decimals. This online decimals calculator will help you understand adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing decimals.


The calculator follows well-known rules for the order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order are:
  • PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
  • BEDMAS: Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  • BODMAS: Brackets, Order (or "Of"), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
  • GEMDAS: Grouping symbols (brackets: (){}), Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
  • MDAS: Multiplication and Division (same precedence), Addition and Subtraction (same precedence). MDAS is a subset of PEMDAS.
Important Notes:
1. Multiplication/Division vs. Addition/Subtraction: Always perform multiplication and division *before* addition and subtraction.
2. Left-to-Right Rule: Operators with the same precedence (e.g., + and -, or * and /) must be evaluated from left to right.
