>>7621750> but many textbooks would yield 1. It's entirely subjective.No. Your textbooks are just retarded.
Fucking American school system with it's rules and mnemonics. I died a little inside the day I learned that some textbooks actually have instructions on how to use calculators. How much fucking spoon feeding do you people need?
Division is the inverse of multiplication, and multiplication is commutative. Thus:
AB/CD = A*B/C*D = A/C*B*D = A*B*D/C = 1/C*A*B*D = Q/Q/C*A*B*D = Q*A*B*D/(Q*C)
You think it matters whether you go from left to right? Who give a shit. Start in the fucking middle if you feel like it.
G*H/(B*D)*H/J*M = H*G*H*M/(B*D*J) = 1/B/D*G*H*M*H/J
LOOK AT THIS SHIT IT'S SO FUCKING EASY A 6 YEAR OLD COULD DO IT. IT'S LITERALLY JUST LIKE MOVING LEGO BLOCKS AROUND.
