1 3 4 4 = 24: 5 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

1 × 3 × (4 + 4) = 24

  1. 1 × 3 = 3
  2. 4 + 4 = 8
  3. 3 × 8 = 24

5 solutions

  • 3 × (4 + 1 × 4) = 24Steps
    1. 1 × 4 = 4
    2. 4 + 4 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • 3 × (4 + 4 ÷ 1) = 24Steps
    1. 4 ÷ 1 = 4
    2. 4 + 4 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • 4 × (4 − (1 − 3)) = 24Steps
    1. 1 − 3 = -2
    2. 4 − -2 = 6
    3. 4 × 6 = 24
  • (4 + 4) ÷ (1 ÷ 3) = 24Steps
    1. 4 + 4 = 8
    2. 1 ÷ 3 = 1/3
    3. 8 ÷ 1/3 = 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.
