I think everyone agrees with this.

The PROBLEM is when we have something like 8 ÷ 2 (2 + 2), and whether the first 2 is part of the grouping with implied multiplication or not. Which is why, you would never get it written like that, but rather as a fraction that clearly shows where what belongs.

Of course it's part of the multiplication. If it wasn't there would be another symbol there.
