1 3 4 5 = 24: 4 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

1 + 3 + 4 × 5 = 24

  1. 1 + 3 = 4
  2. 4 × 5 = 20
  3. 4 + 20 = 24

4 solutions

  • 4 + 5 × (1 + 3) = 24Steps
    1. 1 + 3 = 4
    2. 5 × 4 = 20
    3. 4 + 20 = 24
  • 3 × (5 − (1 − 4)) = 24Steps
    1. 1 − 4 = -3
    2. 5 − -3 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • (3 + 5) × (4 − 1) = 24Steps
    1. 3 + 5 = 8
    2. 4 − 1 = 3
    3. 8 × 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.
