Examples: $\small 2 + 4/2 + 6 = 10$ (standard rule) $\small (2+4) / 2 + 6 = 9$ (altering interpretation using parentheses) Note a term can include functions.

I'm confused with the $/$ symbol meaning the same as $÷$ $4+2(8-3)÷2-1$ should equal $8$ using PEMDAS. However if using the Wikipedia's definition of the slash "Used between numbers slash mea

$\begingroup$ @Mahmud You might find it helpful to look at the concept of an ordered ring. This is a ring whose nonzero elements can be partitioned into disjoint sets $\rm\:P\:$ ("positives") and $\rm\:N\:$ (negatives") such that the sum and product of positives are positive, i.e. $\rm\ P+P \subset P,\ \ P\cdot P\subset P\:.\:$ One then defines $\rm\ a > b\ $ to mean $\rm\ a-b \in P\ $ …

In in-line math mode, I tend to use the literal slash (i.e. /) to denote division.Unlike the common binary operators [+ - \times \div], / is treated as an ordinary math object, though.

The ∤ symbol is available in Unicode as U+2224 Does Not Divide, and as \nmid from many packages, including: unicode-math, amssymb, stix, stix2, newtxmath and the less commonly-usedmnsymbol, fdsymbol and boisk.

Apr 19, 2017 · If we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality symbol is reversed. Why is this true? Example: Given $1<2,$ multiplying both sides by $-1$ we get $-2<-1.$

"a/bc+d, will that be equal to (a/(bc))+d" - short answer, yes. In Maths, Terms are separated by operators and joined by grouping symbols, thus bc is a single term. i.e. bc=(bxc).
