Why? Not sure what the debate is, if you divide/multiply first?

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.

So the debate is whether it could or could not matter?

No, the debate is stupid.

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