 ## Summary of Binary Arithmetic Operators
 
-The following table summarizes the binary arithmetic operators that are available for unboxed integral and floating-point types.
+Arithmetic operations in F# can be performed in two modes: **Unchecked** and **Checked**. By default, arithmetic operations use unchecked behavior, which prioritizes performance but allows overflow/underflow. Checked operators prioritize safety by throwing exceptions in such cases.
+
+### Unchecked Arithmetic Operators
+
+The following table summarizes the binary arithmetic operators that are available for **Unchecked Arithmetic** with unboxed integral and floating-point types.

+The unchecked behavior does not throw exceptions when overflow or underflow occurs, making it less safe for arithmetic on large or edge-case values.

+### Checked Arithmetic Operators
+
+The following table summarizes the binary arithmetic operators that are available for **Checked Arithmetic** with unboxed integral types. Checked operators ensure that calculations are verified for overflow or underflow, providing safer arithmetic for critical applications.

+| `+` (addition, plus) | Throws an <xref:System.OverflowException> if the result exceeds the maximum value or goes below the minimum value supported by the type. Both **Overflow** and **Underflow** are possible. |  
+| `-` (subtraction, minus) | Throws an <xref:System.OverflowException> if the result exceeds the maximum value or goes below the minimum value supported by the type. Both **Overflow** and **Underflow** are possible. |  
+| `*` (multiplication, times) | Throws an <xref:System.OverflowException> if the product exceeds the maximum value or goes below the minimum value supported by the type. Both **Overflow** and **Underflow** are possible. |

+The checked operators are useful for ensuring that arithmetic overflows are caught and handled explicitly.

+### Choosing Between Checked and Unchecked Operators
+
+**Checked Operators:** Ideal for scenarios where overflow errors must be detected and handled explicitly.
+
+**Unchecked Operators:** By default, F# uses unchecked arithmetic for performance reasons. These operations may silently produce incorrect results when overflow or underflow occurs. Use with caution.
