So, I thank everyone who replied. I've read more on this subject than i'd care to admit. I came across a blog by a Physicist who had also noticed the same thing. He asked Chatgpt why, and this is what Chatgpt said...

"4️⃣ Why numeric and symbolic differ

Numeric input: WA uses a calculator-style left-to-right evaluation: 6 ÷ 2 × 3 = 9

Symbolic input: WA uses algebraic conventions: a ÷ bc = a ÷ (b*c) = 1

So the difference comes from “numeric calculator rules vs algebraic coefficient rules.”

This seems to be what i was wanting to know. Thanks.

Thank you. I appreciate what you're saying. Since my first post I've repeated the results by using "/" instead of "÷". The results are the same. It is giving a different result (and a different formulation) when using variables in place of numerals. I'll see what I can find on the Wolfram|Aplha interpreter, and read up on it to see if I can find my answer. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your response. I apologize, I thought I had attached a picture to my first post with the results. You were correct in your assumption that no space was added between b and c. The only spaces I've used are after the commas between the variable definitions. I did both of these in Natural Language mode. To get the Obelus "÷" I used Alt+0247. I used an Obelus instead of the "/" as that's what the original numerical problem used. * I do understand that ÷ isn't really used anymore, but I was attempting to stay as accurate to the original as possible *

Thank you for taking the time to help me understand what I hope is just an error in my Input that I'm not grasping.
