Google giving wrong math answer?

PEMDAS. Multiplication and division are performed left to right so

20/5(2 * 2) = 20/5(4) = 4(4) = 16

20/(5(2 * 2)) = 20/(5(4)) = 20/20 = 1 but this requires another pair of parentheses.

20 / 5 ( 2 * 2 ) = 20 / 5 * 4 = (20/5) * 4 = 4 * 4 = 16

20 / 5 (2 * 2) =

20 / 5 (4) =

20 / 20 =

1.

order of procegers in google if you dont put

brackets

20/(5(2(2)=20/20=1

google solve with respect to priority (20/5)=4

4(4)=16

Well,

Google is right :

As is, without brackets :

20 / 5 ( 2 * 2 ) = 20 / 5 * 4 = (20/5) * 4 = 4 * 4 = 16

Now, to obtain 1, you would need to add brackets as follows :

20 / [ 5 ( 2 * 2 ) ] = 20 / [ 5 * 4 ] = 20 / 20 = 1

okay ?

hope it' ll help !!

Google is treating your coefficient 20/5 as a fraction in front of (2*2). The problem is a lack of grouping symbols.

Try 5/(4*(2*2))

This is a basic misunderstanding of how you type in division and multiplication.

1/2(3) = 3/2 NOT 1/6.

To get 1/6 you need to type 1/((2*(3))

First do the operation in parentheses.

20 / 5 * 4

Now order of operations says go from left to right. So the division is next.

4 * 4

And now do the multiplication.

16

If you intended that (2*2) to be in the denominator you need more parentheses:

20/(5*(2*2)) or simply 20/(5*2*2)

(20/5)(2*2) = 16.

20/(5*2*2) = 1.

20/5(2*2) is ambiguous but the most conventional interpretation would give you the 16.

20 / 5 ( 2 * 2 ) keeps giving me 16

Because it is taking as:[20 / 5] * ( 2 * 2 ) = 16, keeps giving me 16

and

you want, 20 / [5 ( 2 * 2 )] = 20 / 20 = 1.
