oh brother, it's this nonsense again. the calculator is right, modern software that works blindly left to right is wrong. this becomes obvious in algebra with variables
the distributive property is being murdered by retards who slept through middle school algebra and this will probably result in a plane crashing into a stadium full of orphans at some point

@deprecated_ii So is it 9 or 1
I'm a 9 guy

@monsterislandcolonizer it's 1
2(1+2) is the same thing as (2*1 + 2*2)
that's the distributive property

@deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer Every one of these debates could be avoided if we just use a big line for division instead of the ÷ symbol. That symbol in an equation feels completely unnatural when you want to piece together an equation. The line with the numerator and denominator defined (be it a single number or an equation) is easier to work with.
yall sum demonz nigga 
@nice-nigger @deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer Not sure how I summoned him, but here he is!
Just because math is hard for you does not make me a demon.
@houseoftolstoy @deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer AWWW SHEET NIGGA DIS MAN RIGHT HURR GOT DUH FIYAH NAWMSAYIN DAT NIGGA I'D HAVE STRAIGHT BROKE HIS ASS FOOL DEAD ASS I AIN'T JOKIN' CUH FUH DAT NIGGUH CUH, AWN MUH MAWMA :yotsuba_maybe:
@houseoftolstoy @deprecated_ii @monsterislandcolonizer that symbol work as well as English. "6 divided by 1 plus 2". Is it (6/1)+2 or is it 6/(1+2)? When the notation leads to error, fix the notation.
For example by using an RPN calculator :)

@apropos I recall in precalc they at least used to have a way to vocalize the parenthetical version vs the unparenthetical:
"six plus three divided by two" --> 6+3/2
"six plus three in quantity divided by two" --> (6+3)/2
The thing is, these little gotcha math questions are not taken seriously by any mathematicians or university courses. They teach you how to deal with these in high school algebra, and even then only sometimes, because really, anybody who's actually using math to convey any information will not use these confusing forms.

fun fact: while the rest of the world uses "X by Y" to mean multiplication (think "2 by 4 brick"), it's common in india for "X by Y" to mean "X divided by Y"
