A basic arithmetic calculator is a simple tool that performs basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It is widely used in various settings, including classrooms, offices, and homes, to quickly and accurately perform calculations.

The calculator typically consists of a number pad with digits from 0 to 9, along with function buttons for operations such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), division (÷), and equals (=).

Here's a description of the common operations performed using a basic arithmetic calculator:

This operation is used to add two or more numbers together. You enter the first number, press the addition button (+), enter the second number, and then press the equals button (=) to get the sum.

This operation is used to subtract one number from another. You enter the first number, press the subtraction button (-), enter the second number, and then press the equals button (=) to get the result.

This operation is used to multiply two or more numbers. You enter the first number, press the multiplication button (×), enter the second number, and then press the equals button (=) to get the product.

This operation is used to divide one number by another. You enter the first number, press the division button (÷), enter the second number, and then press the equals button (=) to get the quotient. Note that division by zero is not possible and may result in an error/infinity.
