A problem baffled mathematicans and physicians.

Wow, I'm like it must be complex.
But it is just:
8÷2(2+2)
Come on. evaluate the parentheses first. 2+2=4. Still parantheses 8 ÷ 2(4). So you do it. So you have 8 ÷ 8 = 1.
Elementary school stuff. What is to argue.
Well the argument is should you do 8 ÷ 2 first. Gee. look at that parantheses 2(4). It begs to get evaluated first.
Answer is 1. Not 16. Stop arguing. Arithmetic isn't ambiguous.
