@FishFace@ioc.exchange yeah something like that, still, I've read the relevant page and it seems to me that though they demonstrate multiplication then division, they don't seem to explicitly indicate that this order must be followed. Further, they always have multiplication in brackets if it directly follows division, which to me implies that they would expect a different result without those brackets (possibly due to left-right processing)
