I wish I could paste in any of the following:

1- ($53,000 / 10,000,000 requests) * 100,000 requests
2- (53,000 / 10,000,000) * 100,000
3- (53000 / 10000000) * 100000

The result should be 530

That is because you are probably trying to paste number 3 into the standard mode which doesn't support parentheses, you should switch to scientific mode and then you could paste it

As @nir9 points out, your examples 2 and 3 work today in scientific mode. Example 1--having some notion of units in arbitrary expressions--is not supported today, but perhaps it's something that can be explored as part of #526.
