8÷2(2+2)

The answer is 1

Actually I'm going to change my answer to 16.
It's all about the Order of Operations. The reason there is so much debate over this is because of the difference between the American and UK mnemonics PEMDAS and BIDMAS. I was taught PEMDAS.
I used to think that PEMDAS stood for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Divison, Addition, Subtraction while BIDMAS (or BODMAS) stood for Brackets, Indices (Order for BODMAS), Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
Now if you take that order literally then using PEMDAS you'll perform the multiplication before the division in this example while if you're using BIDMAS you'll perform the division first and get a different answer.
The fact is, I was mistaken about the order and the reason I've changed my answer is because on further research, PEMDAS actually stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Divison, Addition/Subtraction while BIDMAS stands for Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction.
Note the small but important difference. Neither mnemonic is actually saying that divison comes before multiplication or vice versa, but both are saying that division and/or multiplication comes before addition and/or subtraction. One mnemonic has the "M" before the "D" and the other has the "D" before the "M" but they're actually the same thing . . . division and multiplication operations must occur before addition and subtraction commands.
Where there are both division and multiplication operations in an equation, they are performed from left to right.
Using the strict order PEMDAS:8/2(2+2)=8/2(4) (Parentheses first)=8/8 (Multiplication before division)=1
Using the strict order BIDMAS:8/2(2+2)=8/2(4) (Brackets first)=4(4) (Divison before multiplication)=16
The correct answer:8/2(2+2)=8/2(4) (Brackets or parentheses first)=4(4) (Applying the remaining divison and multiplication operations from left to right)=16

It's not a trick question at all.
My post above was an attempt to explain why people are arguing about this but if you apply the Order of Operations correctly there's only one correct answer. No tricks.

The answer is 1. I bet if there are any developers out there, if they make that a server side equation, they’d agree with me.

I agree with Flash. The answer is 1. 
4(4) = 1  is the most likely answer- (at least for computer programming).For standard Maths, it is 16. 
I think that the question has just been poorly written which has caused the confusion. 
For programing- 4 == 4, or 4/4 = 1  - and therefore 1 is true. It is a comparison operator, and what is inside the () is the argument.
