O is not of but order. In Bodmas, division comes before multiplication. Seikiri1: |

Well, looking at the real expression The Bracket rule works when we evaluate the expression inside of it and that gives 3 So, if you are to go by that 6÷2 should be processed next and that gives 3 Therefore 9 is correct To test that the rule of BODMAS is in play on the android calculators try 6+2(2+1) For this the answer is 12 and it clearly does not follow the procedure for the division 1 Like |

Seikiri1: Can 2 answers be correct with 2 different numbers ? |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by fattprince(m): 1:41pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
Dottore:Don't mind the Op. No matter what you use you calculate the bracket first. Which gives 3 I think doing it that way will give us 9. |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by Seikiri1: 1:42pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
majamajic:It depends on the question. E.g 8 + 2 = 10 and 14 - 4 = 10 |

Emescot:E shock me too. You claim Bodmas but slamming the one that used it as incorrect. |

Seikiri1: Answer 10 is same here , the other one is 1 and 9 |

6÷2(2+1) = 9 Bracket Division Multiplication So, the Android calculator is correct Test this with 6+2(2+1) =12 Bracket Multiplication Addition |

majamajic:That is why i told you it depends on the question. And how it is used. |

Karleb: So u mean 2 answers can go on one equation ? |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by Karleb(m): 1:59pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
majamajic: Yes. That's in Mathematics but not in this mathematical state. |

majamajic:If you study any course related to computer science you would understand. You know in secondary school the best and only way of solving questions like that was with bodmas, but after I gained admission to study computer science every thing became different and clear on how most of the electronic gadgets are operating and functioning, including calculations. If you are given a question like that as a computer science student you must go with the Android version of the calculation while in secondary school you must go with the casio version. |

Following the rule of bodmas or operator precedence, the correct answer will be that of the Android phone which is 9. A calculator is difficult to use and therefore need a special expertise. Those who can use it to plot graph knows what I'm saying |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by lecowas: 2:26pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
Seikiri1: I disagree, most secondary school students don't know the nitty gritty of BODMAS. Bracket is not multiplication, and that's where the problem comes from. |

sinkhole:Google added the asterisk, which means multiplication. If the original question had a multiplication symbol before the bracket, then there would have been an obvious answer. 1 Like |
