144/(125/18)
And that would be what... about 20.7 thousandths of an inch in one thousandth of a meter? I think there should be almost twice that many. If I remember correctly there are almost 40 inches in a meter... 39.3?
Edit: 39.3701 inches = one meter
(125/18) of 144
= (125/18) * 144
= 1000
It started as a joke - I didn't realise it needed that much explaining!

If "of" means *, then what does * mean? I thought "of" meant divided into.

half divided into six is 12.
half multiplied (*) by six is 3.
