1000225222482=5000

Explanation:

Since this is categorized under PEMDAS, I'll answer in terms of the order of operations and assume that you have a calculator.

1000225222482 is a fancy way of writing (10002)÷(2522248)2. The P in PEMDAS stands for parentheses, and we have some parentheses, so let's work them out.

The first set of parentheses is 10002. Inside those parentheses, we go through PEMDAS again. There are no further parentheses, so we can move onto E: exponents, which there is! A calculator or mental math or a table will tell you that 10002=1000000. Now, we have 1000000 for our first set of parentheses and there's nothing else to do with that.

Our equation is now 1000000÷(25222482). There are still parentheses, so we have to deal with those.

The second set of parentheses is 25222482. Let's go through PEMDAS. There's no further parentheses, but there are exponents. 2522=63504, giving us 635042482. There are still exponents, so we continue. 2482=61504, giving us 6350461504. There are no more exponents, so we can move on. MD stands for multiplication and division, from left to right. Neither operation is present here, so we finally get to AS, which stands for addition and subtraction from left to right. We subtract, finding that 6350461504=200. So our answer for this section is 200.

Back to the entire equation, we now have 1000000÷200. There are no more parentheses or exponents, but there is division. We find that 1000000÷200=5000 Our equation is now 5000. There is no more multiplication nor division and there is no addition nor subtraction, therefore we know that we are done!
