One easy way to memorize the order of operations is to use the mnemonic "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally."
Some examples:
| 50 - 2 x 6 {do the multiplication first} = 50 - 12 = 38 + 1 |
(4 + 3) x (5 - 4) {do the two sets of parentheses first} = 7 x 1 = 7 |
| 40 - (16 ÷ 2) x 4 + 1 {do the division first} = 40 - 8 x 4 + 1 {do the multiplication} = 40 - 32 + 1 = 9 |
11 + 4 x 32 - (6 + 5 x 2) {do the exponent and the multiplication inside the parentheses first} = 11 + 4 x 9 - (6+10) {do the multiplication and the addition inside the parentheses} = 11 + 36 - (16) = 31 |
