Either way you will get the same answer.

2*1*3=6
1*2*3=6
3*2*1=6
2*3*1= 6...

just go in order and don't confuse yourself.

You "mutiply" the 1 by itself the same number of times the exponential asterisk (*) represents and get ONE! Then 2 by the same number of times it's exponent [ the asterisk] represents. Then 1 times the result. Then do the same task with 3* and multiply by the previous answer! THAT SOLVES YOUR MATH PROBLEM WITH 1 X 1 , BUT NOT YOUR SPELLING PROBLEM.

you may do as you wish!!!! it will all be the same ♥
(i sound like a genie)
ya well

use order of operations
Brackets
Parenthasis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

or in other words(easy way to remember) : brother please excuse my dear aunt sally

but since multiplication and division are the same(like brother and sister) and addition and subtraction are also the same(brother and sister)whichever comes first u must do that
for example

12/2x5 fist divide then multiply =30
8-5+6 fist subtract then add =9
8x5-3+20/10 folow the order....
first multiply
then divide
then subtract
then add
= 47

as for yuor problem

1*2*3 ...they are all multiplication so it doesnt matter

for multiplication and addition it doesnt matter which way u multiply or add for example
1*2*3 = 6 no matter which way you do it
3+2+3= 8 no matter which way you do it

but it matters which way in subtraction and division for example

6-2-2 = do it from left to right
=2
if you did it differentltyou wouldnt get the same answer such as 2-2-6 = -6

division is the same thing

12/2/3=2
do it differently ..youll ge a different answer
3/2/12= totally different answer(dont feel like doing it

so remember
follow order of operations from left to right
it doesnt matter what order for multiplication and addition but does for division and subtraction

doesn't really matter with that specific one, but anything other than 1 or 0 first you always just go in order... for this one 1*2=2, so 2*3=???=6

In this case it doesn't matter since anything multiplied by 1 is the number itself. But, generally while solving equations, the order of precedence is from Left-To-Right. So, a*b*c = (a*b) *c.

doesn't matter because you'll still get the same answer

1X2X3=6
2X3X1=6
3X2X1=6
and so on

you'll always get 6

this only works if there are no parenthesis. otherwise, always remember to multiply the ones in the parenthesis first. anyways, you'll learn this is algebra or pre-algebra class.

BEDMAS

Brackets then Exponents then (Division or Multiplication - as it naturally occurs) then (Addition or Subtraction - as it naturally occurs)

Then if all the same, read from left to right just like text.

In multiplications ,it does not matter which numbers you multiply first.The answer will always be the same.kkkkkSame thing happens in the case of additions also.

You start from the beginning, but it doesn't matter which one you multiply first, you will get the same answer no matter what.

it doesnt matter because 1 is irrelevant
