That is no longer the case, and calculators now follow the explicit orders of operation. a/bc is not interpreted as (a/b)*c on a modern calculator program.
So, what you are saying is, the modern calculator is doing it wrong then? Because if I type in a/bc, then it should do (a/b)×c, not a/(b×c). The only way b×c should happen first while following the order of operations is if b×c is in parentheses.

What I'm saying is I cannot type worth a damn. That "not" is supposed to be a "now".
I went from getting 58 as the answer to looking like a complete idiot in the last few pages. It has come full circle.

Better to be slow, thorough and correct than quick and wrong.
