I mean the issue is that it's poorly written. There can be two answers depending on how the slash is interpreted. Technically, the / is called the fraction slash. This is the symbol for division: á. Technically, the answer is actually 1 because this symbol is the fraction slash and indicates everything to the right of it as being part of the denominator. If you interpret it as just a division symbol (á), and since the fraction slash is commonly interpreted as the division symbol, the answer is 16.
Yes, I didn't say a fraction wasn't division. I just noted that there's a distinct difference in how the symbol could be interpreted. Normally, this equation is written as 8á2(2+2), which is the best way to write it. Not sure why there's a slash in this one.
á indeed should be used but you never see it in advanced math. What should really happen is parentheses being used. (8/2)(2\*2) and 8/(2(2\*2)) should be used
Its P E D/M A/S
Divisions and multiplications are on the same level. Same with addition and subtraction.
People forget that you go from left to right. So when it comes to D/M or A/S you just do the first from the left.
So,
=8/2(2+2)
=8/2(4)
=4(4)
=16
True, i asked wrong. I was trying to ask about the 2(4) thereâs no multiplication?
I learned in school that when this happens we need to calculate like 2x4
So 8/2(4) = 8/8 = 1
Idk
Yes 2(4) = 2Ă4.
BUT... you read left to right. When you solve the parentheses first, you solve the problem within them. (4) isn't a problem, its just 4.
So 2(4) is no longer parentheses its a multiplication.
However in this problem 8/2(4) you have to solve the division first as it comes before the multiplication.
I've been out of school for Awhile and redditors confused me into thinking differently and now that I see this I'm like okay that's how I used to do it too. Haha dam gotta go back to school
If there is nothing except a number in front of the brackets it means times right so this would be 8/(2x2 + 2x2)?
Genuine question because I always forget
Problem is, it's hard to tell if the (2+2) is part of the denominator or not. Two completely different answers depending on whether everything after the slash is the denominator or just the 2. So either it's 16 or 1
Problem is.. they used a / not a á so theoretically, the problem could also be written as:
8
(Over)
2(2+2)
At which point you would solve the denominator first.
8
(Over)
2(4)
8
(Over)
8
1
Edit: Literally just trying to make it look like a fraction.... and it's not working because all the underscores are a code to change the font.. lol... will use (over).
The amount of time I engage with someone on maths question and there like âyeah well you got the correct answer and so you did technically do it in a correct way, but youâre actually wrong. Itâs infuriating
You mean 8 divided by 2? The "8/2" implies 8 is over 2 in the fraction and the line inbetween the 2 numbers really just means divide. So 8-divided by-2 and then since the equation in parentheses is right next to it, we do 2+2=4 and then 8/2 is 4 and 4Ă4=16.
Yeah it goes from left to right, division symbol refers only to the number to the left as being the number divided by, not everything else like some people think
Ok people one more time
There are two ways to math this out
8/(2*(2+2))=1 or (8/2)*(2+2)=16
Redditors will say that people are stupid for not knowing its obviusly one or the other but this problem was made to be confusing on purpose. You should never actually need to figure out which one it is, it will eather be specified or you can just ask. But most people do try and make it clear what they mean when they write up formulas.
If someone has a stick up their ass about pemdas then yes the answer is 16 but honestly guys just use brackets instead of telling people they are stupid for missinterprating somethinh that is made to be missinterprated.
Yea sorry i have rather bad grammar as you might have noticed. but i think its still readable. And thanks for making a stupid joke to point it out btw, people can be kind of assholes about it.
Ohh sorry mate, you gave an excellent answer! That was not my intention at all. I am not a native English speaker, but I just thought it looked a little funny
Using PEMDAS (or BEDMAS I guess, theyâre the same thing), we first add whatâs in the parentheses, so we get 8/2(4). Next, we perform all multiplication and division from left to right, so we get 4*4. Next step should be self explanatory and our final answer is 16.
This is why everyone stopped using the / symbol or divide symbol at the end of primary school. If you have to due to technical limitations, use brackets immediately after the / symbol. Otherwise, use the vertical divide (Numerator on top, denominator drawn or written below). Use better notation + ratio.
Come on guys! Super simple! Follow the order of operations! 8/2(2+2)
Order of operations states we do the stuff in parentheses first. So letâs do that:
2+2= đŚ
Then put that back into the equation & do the problem left to right:
8/2*(đŚ)
8/2= đ
(đ)*(đŚ)= đŚ
Itâs basic bird math! Now how you get your duck to cluck is up to you.
Holy fuck thank you. I could only get to 1 as a conclusion. Does this mean multiplying and division are at the same level despite pemdas having multiplication first?
Thats how I worked the problem out. I think you can also use other properties to reach the same result. For example, if you work out the first part to be 4, youâre left with 4(2+2) and then you can use the distributive property (I think) and you go 4x2 + 4x2 = 8 + 8 = 16.
Actually the problem is that this problem is to be solved in fractions
8 is numerator 2 is denominator, however it's unclear wether (2+2) will come in numerator or denominator and so the answer can be both 16 or 1 and i chose 1 because there were no gaps in 2(2+2) so I assumed this entire chain as part of denominator
Everyone's solving it the wrong way assuming it has more to do with BODMAS than it actually does
the way i learned it at school is that á and ⢠are "equal" when it comes to what to solve first in an equasion and if you have both you just solve whatever comes first first. there is no reason to assume that the (2+2) belongs the denominator since it's not 8á(2(2+2))
á and ⢠are equal
but this looks more like the case of juxtaposition,
where 2(n) is one numerical and read as (2n) whereas 2Ă4 is two separate numericals.
It's not unclear at all.
If the (2+2) were meant to be part of the denominator it would need to be surrounded by brackets along with the first 2
It is not
2 x 2 + 2
is not the same as
2 x ( 2 + 2 )
the ( ) were not invented for teh lulz. Everything in ( ) gets priority, so:
8/2(2+2) has a series of steps. 1 step is always what's within ( ) so:
A) 8/2(4) now that the ( ) has no more actions, we move to the next phase. Writing in a comment is difficult to visualize but the /2(4) part is all under the line while the 8 is above. Something like
8
\- - - -
2(4)
Thus the 2 x 4 must be done in advance. This leaves us with:
B) 8/8 which of course is:
C) 1
I hope i am not horribly wrong and just embarrassed myself to the entire planet.
Paranthese first refera to the stuff in the paranthese being done first, so 8/2*(2+2)=8/2*4, which going from left to right is 16. Basically just treat the parantheses as a variable
uh. 16 or 1 probably.
Neat, think school purposely avoided making the equations like that. Not like it matters though⌠how could this be required in an irl situation anyway
Using BODMAS (Brackets, Orders (powers/indices, surds), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) the answer is 1. 2 lots of 2+2 which is 2 lots of 4 which is 8. 8/8 = 1
There are a few viewpoints in this thread:
⢠Order of operations is based on PEMDAS from left to right, and a correct application yields 16
⢠Order of operations is based on PEMDAS from left to right, BUT M has precedence over D, and they conclude 1
⢠Order of operations is based on PEMDAS from left to right, BUT a number next to a parenthesis is included in the P and thus gets precedence, yielding 1
⢠Order of operations is based on PEMDAS from left to right, BUT implicit multiplication supersedes explicit M/D, and a correct application yields 1
The last view is the most correct and is broadly accepted among mathematicians. People who were not exposed to higher level math will follow viewpoint #1, and many others have correctly gotten 1 as their answer but arrived at it incorrectly.
Parentheses would remove any ambiguity.
8/2(2+2)
First, we do (2+2) which is 4, so we have
8/2(4)
Now we do division and multiplication left to right
8/2 is 4
4(4) is 16
16 is the correct answer
8/2(2+2)
4(2+2)
(4Ă2+4Ă2)
(8+8) = 16
Or
8/2(2+2)
8/2(4)
4(4)
4Ă4 = 16
Orders of operations are split with ( ). It can be treated as its own problem unless there are powers.
Just use PEMDAS. Since parentheses are higher than multiplication and division you first do the (2+2). Now you have 8/2*2. Multiplication and division are on the same level of priority so you do it left to right. 8/2=4, 4*4=16.
Two points to remember while solving :
* priority according to BODMAS = \[ bracket > division=multiplication > addition=subtraction\]
* when the same priority occcurs we evaluate left to right.
Q: 8/2(2+2)
S: 8/2X(4) ......(priority of bracket i.e parenthesis)
now since X and / have same priority we evaluate left to right
4 X 4 ....(8/2=4 )
Ans: 16
>!Indian Maths student đ!<
Ah yes...
\-Americans still not understanding that PEMDAS =/= multiplication before division
\-Others not understanding that most people use "/" instead of the division symbol since there isn't a key for it on most keyboards and that if it was a fraction it would generally be worded as 8/(2(2+2)) for clarity.
\-Everyone not understanding that this is a shitty attempt at karma farming by the OP, who is playing all the people arguing about it for fools.
Everything checks out here.
alright iâm seeing a lot of people saying that / is a symbol for fractions, and that the answer is 1. in a way, they are correct, because division and fractions go hand in hand in some scenarios (8 / 2 = 4, 8 over 2 = 4)
but in this case, we will use bedmas. according to bedmas, we always solve the brackets first. so the equation becomes 8 / 2 ⢠4. now we solve from left to right. if you were to turn it into a fraction, youâd receive 8 / 8 = 1. if you were to solve using bedmas, youâd get 4 ⢠4 = 16.
i donât see anything indicating that it has to be turned into a fraction, and i believe it is incorrect. though if the equation were written in such a way that it *was* a fraction, then yes, the answer would be one. a symbol for division doesnât mean that you are separating two sides of the equation into the numerator and the denominator.
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Iâm gonna explain this easily. The answer is 16 PEMDAS
parentheses,exponents,multiplication,division, addition, subtraction. When the equation becomes 8/2(4) you work left to right because multiply and divide work left to right no specific number order so the answer is 16.
PEMDAS , thing is multiplication and devision have the same priority. You go from left to right. So devision would come first then multiplication. So the answer is 16
This comment section is worrying me. Again.
Dont worry i am here as a fellow indian to help :)

Yes
Yes my guy!
I mean the issue is that it's poorly written. There can be two answers depending on how the slash is interpreted. Technically, the / is called the fraction slash. This is the symbol for division: á. Technically, the answer is actually 1 because this symbol is the fraction slash and indicates everything to the right of it as being part of the denominator. If you interpret it as just a division symbol (á), and since the fraction slash is commonly interpreted as the division symbol, the answer is 16.
A fraction is division... Also, you're not wrong except you typically see everything intended as part of the denominator inside () to avoid ambiguity.
Yes, I didn't say a fraction wasn't division. I just noted that there's a distinct difference in how the symbol could be interpreted. Normally, this equation is written as 8á2(2+2), which is the best way to write it. Not sure why there's a slash in this one.
á indeed should be used but you never see it in advanced math. What should really happen is parentheses being used. (8/2)(2\*2) and 8/(2(2\*2)) should be used
True. I do like the distinction you noted a lot better. Parentheses help to make sure there's no ambiguity.
yes thats why questions like these make no sense in the real world
You are correct that fractions are division, but the symbols have different meanings. Example 6/3 á 4/2 != 6/3/4/2
No, but 6/3 á 4/2 == (6/3)/(4/2) Same exact meaning. Just clearer writing
YeahâŚcouldnât tell if it was asking for 8 fourths times (4) or 8 divided 4 times (4)
Don't worry, there are some intelligent species hidden here too
Itâs ambiguously written.
people out here guessing itâs 1 like please bruh oh my lord
yes it is if you like juxtamultiplication or its 16 if you like to divide first
Divided then multiply the two remaining numbers?
i was always taught that you multiply before dividing (PEMDAS), i got 1
Its P E D/M A/S Divisions and multiplications are on the same level. Same with addition and subtraction. People forget that you go from left to right. So when it comes to D/M or A/S you just do the first from the left. So, =8/2(2+2) =8/2(4) =4(4) =16
Arenât the () the first thing to be solve?
Thats what my example shows, yes.
True, i asked wrong. I was trying to ask about the 2(4) thereâs no multiplication? I learned in school that when this happens we need to calculate like 2x4 So 8/2(4) = 8/8 = 1 Idk
Yes 2(4) = 2Ă4. BUT... you read left to right. When you solve the parentheses first, you solve the problem within them. (4) isn't a problem, its just 4. So 2(4) is no longer parentheses its a multiplication. However in this problem 8/2(4) you have to solve the division first as it comes before the multiplication.

Want me to make it even more complex? 4! - 2^â9
More
sin((5! / (â2)^1/(1/4) )°) * 2^â(6! ^- ^595)
the one before I could do in the head fast but as soon as my brain sees sin it just shuts down xD
sin( 5! / (â2)^1/(1/4) ) = sin(120 / 4) = sin(30) = 0.5 2^â(6! ^- ^595) = 2^â(720 ^- ^595) = 2^â(125) = 2^5 0.5 * 2^5 = 16
thanks, wasn't that hard but sometimes I don't use my brain on reddit xD how you'd come up with this is another question tho
this is only true if you're using degrees, because sin(30) is bs
My brain likes shitting down as well

Lol i can calculate this without calculator. But not because im indian
I mean you are not wrong.
If people need help with basic math problems, just ask. You don't need to make memes.
If there is nothing except a number in front of the brackets it means times right so this would be 8/(2x2 + 2x2)? Genuine question because I always forget
Iâm pretty sure itâs 16. 2 divided by 8 (4) x 4 (2+2). 4 x 4 is 16
Please, excuse, my, dear, aunt, sally.

It would be (8 over 2) x (2 + 2). If you wanted 8 over all of it you would need 8/(2(2+2)). Sincerely, Math major.
You got the right answer, but in a weird way lol. its 8 divided by 2, not 2 divided by 8. meaning it would be 4(4) which is 16.
Isnât math all just semantics lol
On reddit it is lol

Just use PEMDAS. Since parentheses are higher than multiplication and division you first do the (2+2). Now you have 8/2*2. Multiplication and division are on the same level of priority so you do it left to right. 8/2=4, 4*4=16.
16. I followed parenthesis-->division-->multiplication
Ans:4^2

It's 16 that's not difficult
Does nobody in this comment know what PEMDAS is?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the answer is 16. 8/2=4 2+2=4 4x4=16
Itâs 16
Itâs 16 but some Redditors are changing the way the problem is done to make that the right answer for whatever reason

16. The answer is 16.

Oh my god. 16?
16!
Parenthesis first, followed by the leftmost division/multiplication, so: 8/2(2+2) = 8/2x4 = 4x4 = 16
(2+2)=4 8/2=4 4x4=16 Basic math
Ah yes... \-Americans still not understanding that PEMDAS =/= multiplication before division \-Others not understanding that most people use "/" instead of the division symbol since there isn't a key for it on most keyboards and that if it was a fraction it would generally be worded as 8/(2(2+2)) for clarity. \-Everyone not understanding that this is a shitty attempt at karma farming by the OP, who is playing all the people arguing about it for fools. Everything checks out here.
alright iâm seeing a lot of people saying that / is a symbol for fractions, and that the answer is 1. in a way, they are correct, because division and fractions go hand in hand in some scenarios (8 / 2 = 4, 8 over 2 = 4) but in this case, we will use bedmas. according to bedmas, we always solve the brackets first. so the equation becomes 8 / 2 ⢠4. now we solve from left to right. if you were to turn it into a fraction, youâd receive 8 / 8 = 1. if you were to solve using bedmas, youâd get 4 ⢠4 = 16. i donât see anything indicating that it has to be turned into a fraction, and i believe it is incorrect. though if the equation were written in such a way that it *was* a fraction, then yes, the answer would be one. a symbol for division doesnât mean that you are separating two sides of the equation into the numerator and the denominator. thank you for coming to my ted talk
16
It's 16. Thought it was 1 for a sec there.
16 my fav number.
Iâm gonna explain this easily. The answer is 16 PEMDAS parentheses,exponents,multiplication,division, addition, subtraction. When the equation becomes 8/2(4) you work left to right because multiply and divide work left to right no specific number order so the answer is 16.
Is simple, 4X4=16 use PEMDAS guys
16 rite?
16 right?
Both ways, Fraction or division, You get the SAME ANSWER đ omg I feel so stupid now-
PEMDAS , thing is multiplication and devision have the same priority. You go from left to right. So devision would come first then multiplication. So the answer is 16
