What do you mean “Why do they work”?

Because they follow abstract arithmetic operations which are, as far as we know, consistent…

This question is pretty much the same as asking why are the rules of monopoly producing the game of monopoly… Because it’s been defined that way…

I’m not sure what can of response you’re expecting here… What would it look like if it didn’t work?
