Simplest way to Simplification

Rules of Simplification: Basic rule to solve any simplification equations is “VBODMAS”. To solve any simplification equation, we have to follow the above order.

V → Vinculum

B → Remove Brackets - in the order ( ), { }, [ ] 

Where, ( )→ common bracket or parentheses, { }→ braces , [ ] → square brackets

O → Of
D → Division

M → Multiplication

A → Addition

S → Subtraction

Note: At the time of opening of brackets, if a negative sign comes before the brackets then we have to change the sign of the expression inside the bracket.

Let us understand this concept with an example:

Example: Simplify:

= 894 + [87 - {182 ÷ 13 x 5 + 8 - (1-4)}]

= 894 + [87 – {182 ÷ 13 x 5 + 8 -(-3)}]

= 894 + [87 – {182 ÷ 13 x 5 + 8 +3}]

= 894 + [87 – {14 x 5 + 8 +3}]

= 894 + [87 – {70 + 8 +3}]

= 894 + [87 – {81}]

= 894 + [6]

= 900.

We have seen the simple method to solve the simplification problems, now we will discuss the approaches to solving the simplification problems by approximation.
