Malawian:Every entity has their ways of solving problems. That is why when you go to school you always find X but after graduation those who work in financial institutions they no longer find X rather plus and minus. Simple addition and subtraction, you pay in money to your bank account is an addition while you withdraw money from your bank account is a subtraction. So where does the irregularities in your account balance come from? 2 Likes |

Which kain olodo b dis op. Don't you know you're suppose to solve what's in the bracket first and multiply the outcome of the one outside the bracket with the one in the bracket. 6/2(2+1) First solve what's in the bracket 6/2(3) Then solve outside the bracket 6/2=3 Then you have 3(3) Now you have to multiply to open the bracket in order to get your final answer which is 9. It's just a basic 1 calculation and see as growns they yahn nonsense. Go sku you no gree. I bet you still depend on your phone calculator to do some basic calculations. |

The phone is right, whatever is inside the bracket must be solved first. Write a program in a programming language to print the answer and be silenced forever. 1 Like |

Seikiri1: Your completely wrong, O stands for anything exponential, you need to consider 2(3) as 2 * 3 which is basically the same thing, 6÷2*3 Following the order of bodmas, you handle division first which gives 9. 2 Likes |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by RubiesBanking: 9:24pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
DipoToyo: This works because you covered the whole denominator with parentheses, so everything in the parentheses get solved first before the final solution, the confusion is when the parentheses is not involved. |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why These Two Calculators Got Different Answers.. by Nobody: 9:26pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
Know you that 2*(2+1) is not exactly this samething as 2(2+1). In fact 2(2+1) is the result from 2*(2+1). So the calculator is correct mathematically. For instance, you can't say that 6÷2x is 3x. The android app treated 6÷3(2+1) as 6÷2(2+1) as 6÷2*(2+1). And that's wrong. 6÷2(2+1) has two operands but 6÷2*(2+1) has three. 3 Likes |

Seikiri1:Its not just plus and Minus. When issues of Loan and interest rate comes in, things like you paid some, some are still pending, interest on pending ones etc, you begin to see all these multiplication, division, of, etc. That is when my Yoruba brothers will fish out their android calculators. If it is to calculate your interest on deposit, they will fish out their Casio calculator. For the ones already gnashing their teeth, I write this for all to read, I love yabbing Yoruba people.

Seikiri1:O does not mean Of, O means order. Nigerian teachers have finished us. EDIT: It seems that I was wrong, O could mean Of but there's a catch, there are two standards PEMDAS and BODMAS, PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction while BODMAS stands for Bracket, Order/Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. Note that Multiplication and division are now considered as having equal precedence therefore the first one that appears will be the one with higher precedence, but there's no standard one by the way, which makes it a pain. All programming languages I've seen use PEMDAS. 1 Like |

MyFlair: This is the only person that gave simple explanation has why the answer should be 1. Whatever rule you want to follow the answer is still 1 because solving maths has a process and when u missed one process u will arrive at a wrong answer believing that is the right answer. NB: There are two brackets here to be solved before the division. 1 Like
