What is the value of 2/2/2? [on hold]

What is the value of 2/2/2? [on hold]

what is the value of 2/2/2 ? Where / denotes usual division, if we
interpret it as (2/2)/2 its value comes out 1/2 and if we interpret it as
2/(2/2) it comes out 1. Now both of the operation is division so both is
of same precedence, according to BODMAS nothing is wrong in both of the
interpretation but the problem is both give two different result. What is
the right value and why? Is there something wrong with BODMAS because we
well know that division is not associative on the set of non-zero real
numbers. Above example may be(if you recognise it)one of the LIMITATIONS
of BODMAS
