===== Always use parentheses with division. Examples: =====
* Unambiguous stacked fraction: 502(1+4)=5\frac{50}{2(1+4)} = 52(1+4)50=5
* Unambiguous left-to-right: (50/2)(1+4)=125(50/2)(1+4) = 125(50/2)(1+4)=125
* With powers and variables: πr22424πr2=1\frac{\pi r^2 2^4}{2^4 \pi r^2} = 124πr2πr224=1 versus (πr22424)(πr2)=π2r4\bigg(\frac{\pi r^2 2^4}{2^4}\bigg)(\pi r^2) = \pi^2 r^4(24πr224)(πr2)=π2r4

✅ Rule of thumb: If you mean a single fraction, write it with a fraction bar or parentheses. If you mean left-to-right multiplication/division, use parentheses to show it. Never rely on implicit multiplication to “override” division.

Do you want me to make you a short cheat-sheet of ambiguous vs unambiguous cases so you can spot and fix them instantly?
