Subtraction (-)

Use the - operator to subtract numbers:

Multiplication (*)

Division (/)

Use the / operator to divide numbers. The result is always a float:

Modulus (%)

The % operator gives the remainder of a division:

Quick Recap

• + Addition
• - Subtraction
• * Multiplication
• / Division (result is float)
• % Modulus (remainder)

These operations form the foundation of numerical calculations in Python. Next, you'll practice using them in exercises.
