Why is '/' interpreted differently to ' ÷' in Wofram Alpha

Posted 8 months ago

Using Maths input if you enter 6/2*3 into Wofram Alpha it interprets it as 6/(2*3) but if you enter it as 6÷2*3 it thinks its (6/2)*3. Is this a deliberate difference? If so why?

Within WolframAlpha, with math input 6/2*3 means 6/(2*3), while in natural language it means (6/2)*3. Actually, with math input it looks as if the slash / is interpreted as control-slash is interpreted in Mathematica.
