2 7 11 12 = 24: 4 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

7 + 11 + 12 ÷ 2 = 24

  1. 7 + 11 = 18
  2. 12 ÷ 2 = 6
  3. 18 + 6 = 24

4 solutions

  • 2 × (7 + 11) − 12 = 24Steps
    1. 7 + 11 = 18
    2. 2 × 18 = 36
    3. 36 − 12 = 24
  • 12 × (11 − (2 + 7)) = 24Steps
    1. 2 + 7 = 9
    2. 11 − 9 = 2
    3. 12 × 2 = 24
  • (11 − 7) ÷ (2 ÷ 12) = 24Steps
    1. 11 − 7 = 4
    2. 2 ÷ 12 = 1/6
    3. 4 ÷ 1/6 = 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.
