I'm trying to learn arithmetic from scratch again. Even though I can use it, I'm not sure if I can teach it to someone and I believe if you can't teach something properly, there might be loopholes in your understanding. Hence, I'm looking for a book that discusses various topics of arithmetic, like numbers (counting, fractions, integers, rational, real), numerals, place value number systems, addition, multiplication, division, etc very explicitly.

6See Which topics and textbooks to learn elementary school arithmetic and beyond? Maybe also Books about elementary mathematics written like a good undergraduate textbook, especially if you're more theoretically inclined (but still rusty with the mechanics of basic arithmetic). – Dave L Renfro Jan 14 '23 at 14:57

1Would you be interested in mathematics education textbooks intended for training teaching students to become mathematics educators? – nick012000 Jan 16 '23 at 08:42

@nick012000 Yes, anything works as long as it is detailed on the arithmetic concepts. – Harshit Rajput Jan 16 '23 at 09:07

You might check out the OpenStax Prealgebra text. It seems to have much of what you’re looking for.

I have used this book to help me understand mathematics and prepare for my exams. It is helpful for all levels and the explanations are clear and friendly.

I would unironcially recommend Tao's Analysis-1. The issue of pinning down numbers as a logically consistent concept is much more complicated than one may think it to be.
