00:00Welcome everyone. Today we are going to understand why the answer for this question is not supposed to be 0.
00:06See 14 divided by 2 multiplied by 7. At this point lot of people think 2 multiplied by 7 is easy. Let's do that.
00:13So 14 divided by 14 is 1 minus 1. The answer is 0.
00:16No, that's not how these things work in mathematics.
00:19It's very important to realize that division and multiplication hold equal precedence.
00:24So in sums like these you have to go from left to right.
00:27Right? Whatever operation happens first on your left hand side has to be done first.
00:31So 14 divided by 2 is 7 multiplied by 7 minus 1.
00:36So that is 49 minus 1. The answer for this question is supposed to be 48.
00:41I hope this is very very clear to everyone.
00:45That's it for today. I will see you in the next video.
