Formal names of operands and results for math operations

Basic matemathematics operation, that we can do on numbers are:
- addition, marked with a symbol $+$ :
  
  $w = a + b$
- subtraction, marked with a symbol $-$ :
  
  $w = a - b$
- multiplication, marked with a symbol $\cdot$ or $\times$ :
  
  $w = a \cdot b = a \times b$
- division, marked with a symbol $/$ , $:$ or by using fraction bar:
  
  $w = a / b = a : b = \dfrac{a}{b}$
Depending on the type of operation, we will name the obtained result in a different way:
- the result of the addition is called sum ( $a + b$ ),
- the result of the subtraction is called difference ( $a - b$ ),
- the result of the multiplication is called product ( $a \cdot b$ ),
- the result of the division is called quotient ( $a : b$ ).
Depending on the type of operation, we also call differently the numbers on which we perform this operation (so-called arguments or operands):
- numbers, which we add to each other, we call summands or addends:
  
  $\text{sum} = \text{the first summand} + \text{second summand}$
- numbers that we subtract from each other, we call minuend and subtrahend:
  
  $\text{difference} = \text{minuend} - \text{subtrahend}$
- numbers, which we multiply, we call factors:
  
  $\text{product} = \text{the first factor} \cdot \text{second factor}$
- numbers that we divide, we call dividend and divisor
  
  $\text{quotient} = \text{dividend} : \text{divisor}$
