* calc.texi (Basic Arithmetic, Customizing Calc): Mention
Calc may change the precedence depending on the language mode being used.
@xref{Language Modes}.) This default ordering can be changed by setting
the customizable variable @code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} to
-@code{nil} (@pxref{Customizing Calc}); this will give division a higher
-precedence than multiplication. Note that Calc's default choice of
+@code{nil} (@pxref{Customizing Calc}); this will give multiplication and
+division equal precedences. Note that Calc's default choice of
precedence allows @samp{a b / c d} to be used as a shortcut for
@smallexample
@group
@defvar calc-multiplication-has-precedence
The variable @code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} determines
-whether multiplication or division has precedence in algebraic formulas
+whether multiplication has precedence over division in algebraic formulas
in normal language modes. If @code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence}
is non-@code{nil}, then multiplication has precedence, and so for
example @samp{a/b*c} will be interpreted as @samp{a/(b*c)}. If
-@code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} is @code{nil}, then division
-has precedence, and so for example @samp{a/b*c} will be interpreted as
-@samp{(a/b)*c}. The default value of
-@code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} is @code{t}.
+@code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} is @code{nil}, then
+multiplication has the same precedence as division, and so for example
+@samp{a/b*c} will be interpreted as @samp{(a/b)*c}. The default value
+of @code{calc-multiplication-has-precedence} is @code{t}.
