Assuming that the 649k (R1, R2) resistors are always equal and the 200k resistors (R3, R4) are also always equal then the following formula applies:-

Vout = (V1-V2) 200k/649k

and the output voltage will theoretically be zero in your circuit because both inputs are at the same voltage. In practice, due to component tolerances and the op-amp input offset voltage it will not be exact.

What have you found out about the gain of an IA configuration?

What have you deduced about the range over which the output voltage can change?

Did rou want to identify the polarity of the input?

You need to specify which input is V1 and which is V2. Your equation is correct if V1 connects to R2. Otherwise, you need a minus sign in front of it.

This equation does not include the zener.
