We call them operators and the numbers they act on are the operands.
In mathematics, an operand is one of the inputs (arguments) of an operator. For instance, in
3 + 6 = 9
'+' is the operator and '3' and '6' are the operands.

They are called operators and the things they operate on are called operands. Subtraction Operator, Addition O., Equal sign, Multiplication O.

Operators, as others have said, is correct. Specifically they are arithmetical operators. There are other operators such as the 'Laplacian', â², defined by
â²T = â²T/âx² + â²T/ây² + â²T/âz²
