Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

8 + 10 + 12 ÷ 2 = 24

  1. 8 + 10 = 18
  2. 12 ÷ 2 = 6
  3. 18 + 6 = 24

3 solutions

  • 2 × 10 − (8 − 12) = 24Steps
    1. 2 × 10 = 20
    2. 8 − 12 = -4
    3. 20 − -4 = 24
  • 2 × (8 + 10) − 12 = 24Steps
    1. 8 + 10 = 18
    2. 2 × 18 = 36
    3. 36 − 12 = 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.
