Order of Precedence
In SQL Server, arithmetic operators follow the standard order of precedence, where multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction. You can use parentheses to control the order of operations.
Example:
SELECT 5 + 3 * 2 AS Result;
Output:
11
In the above example, multiplication is performed first, resulting in 3 * 2 = 6, then addition is performed, resulting in 5 + 6 = 11.

These operators allow you to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more on numeric data stored in your database tables. In this article, we’ll explore the various arithmetic operators available in SQL Server, discuss their usage with examples, and provide outputs to illustrate their functionality, all explained in an easy-to-understand manner for beginners.
