Basic Order Of Operations (DMAS) - Helping with Math 24 ÷ 3 x 4. = 8 x 4 = 32. However, If we wish to multiply 3 and 4 first and then divide 24 by the resulting number we write the expression as. 24 ÷ ( 3 x 4 ) Now, according to the order of operations, we will solve the brackets first to get, 24 ÷ ( 3 x 4 ) = 24 ÷ 12. = 2.
