minus-squareCheesyFox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·7 months agoafair, multiplication was always before division, also as addition was before subtraction
minus-squareAnd009@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-27 months agoMultiplication VS division doesn’t matter just like order of addition and subtraction doesn’t matter… You can do either and get same results. Edit : the order matters as proven below, hence is important
minus-squareprime_number_314159@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-27 months agoIf you do only multiplication first, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷6 = 1. If you do mixed division and multiplication left to right, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷3×2 = 2×2 = 4. Edit: changed whitespace for clarity
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months ago4 would be correct since you go left to right.
minus-squareAnd009@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months ago2nd one is correct, divisions first.
minus-squareSquirrel@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoI was taught that division is just inverse multiplication, and to be treated as such when it came to the order of operations (i.e. they are treated as the same type of operation). Ditto with addition and subtraction.
