Yes you guessed it right. Equals sign is the only operator and the context is missing. Providing context means providing the solution. The first time when I solved a similar problem and arrived at the mathematically correct solution, I was told it is a statistical question. 6 out of 12, 5 out of 10 and so on may have the equal ratio but they are not otherwise equal and that turned out to be true in almost all the situations even in electronics.You need to supply some context. The thread (at least the last page of it) has been about order of operations. You are only giving a single operation unless you are using the equals sign as an operator, in which case you have to define the syntax in use.
If you are talking about the issue of integer division, then you again need to specify the context.
