Question 985997: We avoid writing expressions like 32�8�2�2 because the order of the divisions isn�t clear. However, you can make the order clear if you insert enough parentheses.
The value of 32�8�2�2 depends on where you put the parentheses. For example, ((32�8)�2)�2 = 1, but (32 � 8) � (2 � 2) = 4.
By inserting any number of parentheses wherever you want, what is the largest number you can make 32�8�2�2 come out to?
(Your answer should be an integer, not the expression with parentheses that gives you that integer.)
