The word addition It is a very present term in our language and that according to the context in which we use it will present different references.
The most popular and widespread use we make of the word is at the behest of the math, in which it refers to one of the arithmetic operations, that of the addition and is symbolized from the symbol +. The aforementioned sign is used to indicate the quantities that must be added in order to obtain the value of the operation or the final result of the operation, for example: (1 + 1 = 2).
It should be noted that the sum is plausible to be carried out on sets of numbers, whether they are of different types such as: natural, integer, rational, complex and real and also on structures linked to them, such as vector spaces whose members are precisely these numbers indicated.
The standard procedure to carry out an addition is as follows: the addends, as the numbers a are called add, they will be placed in successive rows and the figures will be arranged in columns, starting from the right with the figure corresponding to the
uniteades, to the left follow the tens, continue through hundreds and finally the thousands. First, the figures corresponding to the units column are added and the ones just mentioned are followed in order; if the result exceeds 10 units, one more addend will be added to the next column.Meanwhile, the sum presents various properties that distinguish it such as: commutative (the result will be the same even if the order of the addends is altered), associative (in the case of adding three or more numbers, the result will be the same regardless of the grouping made with them), distributive (the sum of two numbers, then multiplied by a third number, will be equal to the sum of the product of each of the numbers that are added by the third number to be multiplied) and lock (is property argues that if they are added natural numbers the result will always be within the category natural).
On the other hand, in the languagecolloquial the word addition is used to designate the aggregate that is done from one thing to another. We have made the addition of new products to our stock.
And in the field of chemistry we also find a reference for the word that indicates the reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a single.
