County 579 / Exits 3 A-B = 193 from what was then still I-95 in Ewing Township, New Jersey. February 24, 2018.

That has to be the most creative and interesting way to reach the quotient that I've seen yet!^

would it be okay to do something like 394/(160/80) = 197 for the next post?

Both the above posts are much more satisfying than the typical XX = XX / 1 samples we get in this thread.

Personally I would say yes. The OP says "same rules as multiplication game", that game says "same rules as 1-2-3 addition challenge", and that game says you can use multiple numbers.

I'm thinking the question is not so much about using multiple numbers, but adding the parens to change the order of operations. Personally, I think the more creative the better, so go for it (but I don't make the rules here).

Screw it! I'm gonna post it.

197 = 394 / (160/80)

Admittedly, I saved it up until I remembered to use it!

I'm fine with using parenthesis make the division work, we're going to start running out of choices other than (quotient/1) or (quotient/half).

I don't post much in these photo challenge game threads, but do follow along with most. As a casual observer of these math-related threads, the use of parentheses or unusual numbers to arrive at the desired number is always a bit more interesting and should be encouraged.

Apologies for being pedantic, but the quotient is actually the answer in a division operation: numerator / denominator = quotient

Yeah, you're right.

I couldn't recall the order of the other parts of the equation, but I also wanted to emphasize that there's a lot of times I've had to go with "desired number" (being the quotient) just divided by one, to move things along.

I suppose the Multiplication Game thread gets the same way with prime numbers; heck, just finding the 311 and a 1 was tricky enough (couldn't find a 622 and one-half photo).
