Which calculator would do what you described? I just checked a few ones
and didn't find any. I'd be surprised a lot, to be honest, because
that'd be wrong and I probably would've gotten a very wrong result at
some point because I rely on calculators having implemented the correct
order of operations. Every school or university teaches that
multiplication and division have the same precedence (modulo may or may
not be on the same level, mostly depending on the notation) and are
calculated from the left to the right. So 8*10^12/6*10^9 =
8*(10^12)/6*(10^9) = ((8*(10^12))/6)*(10^9)
