Arithmetic operators are mathematical functions used on numbers to perform basic arithmetic operations. 

The most common arithmetic operators in Python are:

  1. Addition (+): Used to add two or more numbers together.
  2. Subtraction (-): Used to subtract one number from another.
  3. Multiplication (*): Used to multiply two or more numbers together.
  4. Division (/): Used to divide one number by another.
  5. Modulus (%): Used to find the remainder after division.
  6. Exponentiation (** or ^): Used to raise a number to a power.
  7. Floor Division(//): Used to perform integer division, where the result is rounded down to the nearest integer.
# Addition
a = 5
b = 10
c = a + b
print(c)  # Output: 15

# Subtraction
d = 20
e = 7
f = d - e
print(f)  # Output: 13

# Multiplication
g = 3
h = 4
i = g * h
print(i)  # Output: 12

# Division
j = 25
k = 5
l = j / k
print(l)  # Output: 5.0

# Modulus
p = 25
q = 6
r = p % q
print(r)  # Output: 1

# Exponentiation
s = 2
t = 3
u = s ** t
print(u)  # Output: 8


# Floor Division
m = 25
n = 6
o = m // n
print(o)  # Output: 4
