There is no basketball, it's a baseball.

After thought, you might actually be right. For example: a/bc Is it \frac{ac}{b} or is it \frac{a}{bc}? EDIT: Perhaps the ambiguity of the question is getting to me, and I was correct initially: a/bc = \frac{ac}{b}

It means that multiplication by juxtaposition takes precedence over multiplication by operator. That statement is false.

It never does, multiplication is multiplication.

Your entire argument is based on the point that multiplication by juxtaposition takes precedence over multiplication by operator, despite the fact that they're just two ways of expressing one operation. It's like saying that ÷ takes precedence over / or vice versa.

They do. So do Wolfram Alpha, Google, PHP, Perl, and Ruby.

That's simply the order in which they're stated. Multiplication and division are equal, so are addition and subtraction. I could just as easily say that PEDMSA represents the order of operations. One way to look at it is to say that division is simply multiplication of the reciprocal, and...

If you follow the order of operations, why are you multiplying 2 by twelve before dividing 48 by two? Multiplication doesn't take precedence over division, they're performed from left to right: \frac{48}{2}(9+3)

If you mean for divisibility, you can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

Or, there is a^2- n^2= m^2- b^2.
