A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The OP has 40*1/4 which is 10.
OP had an ambiguous notation. One that tends to be taught in schools as the way to present a 'proper fraction' (or perhaps compound fraction, i forget, it's not important) by factoring out the integer component.
Later on in schooling, one is discouraged from using the notation because of the entirely reasonable way of interpreting it that you've used when thinking algebraicly.
It's like that Facebook shit that uses the division operator. It's ambiguous, so there is no way to be authoritative in the interpretation.
