1 3 3 10 = 24: 2 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

3 × (10 + 1 − 3) = 24

  1. 1 − 3 = -2
  2. 10 + -2 = 8
  3. 3 × 8 = 24

2 solutions

  • 3 × (10 − 1) − 3 = 24Steps
    1. 10 − 1 = 9
    2. 3 × 9 = 27
    3. 27 − 3 = 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.
