            Abstract : 
Grey numbers can be represented as their kernels and associated degrees of greyness. Therefore, the operation between kernels of grey numbers has significance in the application of grey numbers. This paper investigates the operations of grey numbers using their kernels and degrees of greyness and provides conditions for the application of real number operations to their kernels.
