How PEMDAS,BODMAS are true in this case

100 Views Asked by At

If we look at this expression $\frac{A}{B + C}$ It looks like it is simply $A ÷ B + C$

But the calculator does it as $A ÷ ( B + C )$

Why does the calculator do it like this as in the first place there are no brackets.

I have attached calculator result screenshot.

On many calculators nowadays, when you press the ÷ button or the fraction "-" button, you automatically stay in the divided part until you choose to come out of it. So if you want to do $A ÷ B + C,$ you have to press on your calculator:

$A$

÷

$B$

$>\quad $ (Right Arrow (to come out of the divided part)

$+$

$C$.

Why this is the case? I do not know. But it's not a big deal, right? Just get used to it.
