    It can matter if you don’t have enough significant figures, so I tend to do division last to preserve as much precision as I can. In theory it shouldn’t matter, but it can matter in practice.

        No, the debate is stupid.

        I’m just saying there is a situation where it could matter, not that the debate is valid.

          Ah, I’m still trying to figure out what the debate is. Sorry mate, but thanks for trying to respond, I appreciate you having tried. I’m just missing something.
