3 3 4 9 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

3 × 4 + 3 + 9 = 24

  1. 3 × 4 = 12
  2. 3 + 9 = 12
  3. 12 + 12 = 24

3 solutions

  • 3 × (9 + 3 − 4) = 24Steps
    1. 3 − 4 = -1
    2. 9 + -1 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • 4 × (3 + 9 ÷ 3) = 24Steps
    1. 9 ÷ 3 = 3
    2. 3 + 3 = 6
    3. 4 × 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.
