1 1 5 7 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

(1 + 1) × (5 + 7) = 24

  1. 1 + 1 = 2
  2. 5 + 7 = 12
  3. 2 × 12 = 24

3 solutions

  • (1 − 5) × (1 − 7) = 24Steps
    1. 1 − 5 = -4
    2. 1 − 7 = -6
    3. -4 × -6 = 24
  • (5 − 1) × (7 − 1) = 24Steps
    1. 5 − 1 = 4
    2. 7 − 1 = 6
    3. 4 × 6 = 24

Solving hints

  • Build a factor pair: split the four numbers into two groups and try to make a factor pair of 24 — 3 × 8, 4 × 6, or 12 × 2 — then multiply the two groups.

  • No factor pair divides cleanly? Switch to sums: make two numbers add up to 24, or try shapes like (a ± b) × (c ± d) and (a + b + c) × d.
