"Protection" vs. "Resist Damage" vs. "Armor"

I understand what these are on a general level. Protection boosts your armor and resist damage cuts down on the damage you receive. But what is the precise math behind them and how do they operate?

If I increase Protection by 100% how does this affect the damage I receive mathematically?

Is Resist Damage a chance to resist damage AND a damage reducer, or does it always work and always reduce damage. Does it reduce damage after armor reduction is calculated or before?

Do we know how Armor reduces damage precisely?
