Excel, being spreadsheet, follows the laws of mathematics. One of those laws is that multiplication comes before addition. It is part of the order of precedence of operations. See the related question below.

What is the basic rules in math equations in addition or brackets or division which goes first?

The answer is PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents [like squared or cubed], Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Brackets come before this expression always, so you could say BPEMDAS. Brackets first, division second, and addition last. Hope that helps.concepts of addition,subtraction,multiplication and division comes under the study of basic math.

How do you do sadmep in math?

SADMEP is PEMDAS backwards. for SADMEP first you do subtraction or addition in the order they come in, then do division or multiplication in the order they come in, then exponents the parentatheses. SADMEP is used in equations for sure and inepualities i think.

In solving an equation with more than one operation you must first add then divide?

Multiplication and division come first, then addition and subtraction. For example: 4 + 2 X 3 + 6 = 16 First you multiply 2 X 3, to get 6, and then you add them, left to right 4 + 6 + 6 = 16. The answer IS NOT 54 and the answer IS NOT 30. The same rule applies with division; division comes before addition or substraction. If there is both division and multiplication and/or addition and subtraction, you resolve the multiplication and division left to right first, then resolve the addition and subtraction left to right. It is generally better to user parentheses to illustrate exactly what you mean. For example, the above equation would be easier read if it was written 4 + (2 X 3) + 6. Or, if you really had wanted the addition first, (4 + 2) X (3 + 6). Then it is quicker and easier for the reader to see what is going on in equation.
