==Description==

'''Arithmetic''' or arithmetics (from the [[Greek]] [[word]] ἀριθμός = [[number]]) is the oldest and most elementary branch of [[mathematics]], used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple day-to-day counting to advanced [[science]] and [[business]] [[calculation]]s. It involves the [[study]] of [[quantity]], especially as the result of combining [[numbers]]. In common usage, it refers to the simpler properties when using the traditional operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with smaller values of numbers. Professional mathematicians sometimes use the term ''(higher) arithmetic'' when referring to more advanced results related to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_theory number theory], but this should not be confused with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic elementary arithmetic].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic]
