What is a Sum in Mathematics?

In mathematics, a sum is a result obtained by adding two or more numbers together. The individual amounts that are added together to get the total or final result are called addends or summands.

For example, if we have the equation:

2 + 3 + 4 = ?

The 2, 3, and 4 are the addends or summands, and the answer or result is the sum of these numbers, which in this case is:

2 + 3 + 4 = 9
