Multiplication VS division doesn't matter just like order of addition and subtraction doesn't matter.. You can do either and get same results.

Edit : the order matters as proven below, hence is important

If you do only multiplication first, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷6 = 1.

If you do mixed division and multiplication left to right, then 2×3÷3×2 = 6÷3×2 = 2×2 = 4.

Edit: changed whitespace for clarity

4 would be correct since you go left to right.
