Using parentheses
Since all calculations inside parentheses are completed first, it is
sometimes important to place a portion of an expression inside
parentheses.
Example: Multiply 41+2; then multiply 4(1+2).
Note: The closing parenthesis ¤ is optional. The operation will be
completed if you omit it. The exception to this rule occurs when there is
another operation following the parenthetical operation. In this case,
you must include the closing parenthesis.
Example: Divide 1/2 by 2/3.
