Helps to isolate the problem by putting brackets round anything that you KNOW needs to be done separately.

PEMDAS
parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
Thatâs how I remember it.

I learned BOMDAS
brackets, of, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction
The next year I learned BODMAS instead, which was initially confusing but introduced the idea that the exact order can be a bit variable, as long as you do the multiplication/division bits first.
