If you believe multiplication goes before division then 1. 8 / (2 * 4)

If you believe multiplication and division are of equal importance 16. 8 / 2 * 4

SQL, Google, and I believe C++ and HLSL would say the latter: (16)

That's not "multiplication" though - that's The Distributive Law. Multiplication refers literally to multiplication signs.
