With the numbers plugged in, the formula is now 4(2x2)^2 / 8 - First, using PEMDAS, we will multiply 2 by 2 and get 4, and 4^2 is simply 4x4, which is 16. Our formula now looks like 4(16) / 8, and now we will multiply 4 by 16 and get 64, which we finally divide by 8 and get our answer, 8.

Substituting the values gives 4(8) squared divided by 8. 24 squared divided by 8 gives 576 divided by 8. That gives 72.
