== Explicit vs Implicit (implied) multiplication ==
<div style="text-align:center">
{{Quote|text='''''Implied multiplication''' has a higher priority than explicit multiplication to allow users to enter expressions, in the same manner as they would be written.''<br/>

}}
</div>
Explicit operations have explicit operators (* ÷ + - ) which are delimiters that divide equations into separate terms. Implied multiplication is notation that informs us that the value of a variable, bracketed function or exponent are connected and not separate terms. ''Implied multiplication is everywhere, 1x = x and x/1=x. Any number times 1 is that number and any number divided by 1 is that number.''

'''Correct:''' (''when EXPLICIT division is applied, it is applied to the entire term to the right of the division sign.'')
