In this more sophisticated convention, which is often used in algebra, implicit multiplication (also known as multiplication by juxtaposition) is given higher priority than explicit multiplication or explicit division (in which one explicitly writes operators like × * / or ÷). Under this more sophisticated convention, the implicit multiplication in 2(2 + 2) is given higher priority than the explicit division implied by the use of ÷. That’s a very reasonable convention, and I agree that the answer is 1 if we are using this sophisticated convention. "But that convention is not universal. For example, the calculators built into Google and WolframAlpha use the less sophisticated convention that I described in the article; they make no distinction between implicit and explicit multiplication when they are asked to evaluate simple arithmetic expressions.
