i'm a nigger. don't know division comes first. thank goodness i don't build anything that needs engineering math
division comes first
Nigger calling others niggers.
I do build stuff that needs engineering math.
See:
6 / 2 * 3 = 6 * 3 / 2
And, since I engineer stuff involving math, I can tell you to open your browser console and try it for yourself:
2 * 21023 / 21023
2 / 21023 * 21023
Guess which will return what.
If division should come first, they should return the same value even on finite hardware.
If multiplication and division are done in whatever order they are written (because of commutativeness it shouldn't matter), the finite hardware can cause them to be different.
Seriously, this thread is so full of idiots it's obscene.

Generally, but not always, and it only matters when implemented on finite hardware, otherwise the result should stay the same.
I'm saying there's ambiguity in how you parse the text in the image, you blind idiot.
The unambiguous option would be "6 ÷ 2 × (1 + 2)".
The text in the image might be interpreted as "6 ÷ (2 × (1 + 2))" or as nonsense.

Being so retarded that you need to call others retards so much you misinterpret a line and don't read the next one:

In case you can't guess what is supposed to be there:
2 * 21023 / 21023
2 / 21023 * 21023
