At least you know how to use that the right way ^_^


Simple. The place where they mess up is the order of the multiplication and division.

You should see these people on Facebook, they actually think 6/2(1+2) = 6/(2(1+2))
I'm pretty sure they're trolling, but got nothing better to do right now so I'ma keep feeding them :P

LOL yeah; pretty fucking sad that no one knows how to incorporate P.E.M.D.A.S. into a simple 3 factor expression.

Why do you keep typing O instead of A ?

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
A lot of people never learned the acronym PEMDAS


P ▬▬▬ Parentheses first
E ▬▬▬ Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
MD ▬▬ Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
AS ▬▬ Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

Divide and Multiply rank equally (and go left to right).
Add and Subtract rank equally (and go left to right)

After you have done "P" and "E", just go from left to right doing any "M" or "D" as you find them.
Then go from left to right doing any "A" or "S" as you find them.

Yes, but sadly nearly 50% of people don't understand

And most of those that did, still get it wrong because they think it's strictly that order

It's like that stupid triangle thing you learn in high school with Density = Mass/Volume
.../M\
/D | V\

People that use that fuck up epicly most of the time
Seriously just don't...
