  • 2 × 13 − 6 ÷ 3 = 24Steps
    1. 2 × 13 = 26
    2. 6 ÷ 3 = 2
    3. 26 − 2 = 24
  • 13 ÷ (3 ÷ 6) − 2 = 24Steps
    1. 3 ÷ 6 = 1/2
    2. 13 ÷ 1/2 = 26
    3. 26 − 2 = 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.
