3 3 6 11 = 24: 4 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

3 × 11 − (3 + 6) = 24

  1. 3 × 11 = 33
  2. 3 + 6 = 9
  3. 33 − 9 = 24

4 solutions

  • 3 × (11 + 3 − 6) = 24Steps
    1. 3 − 6 = -3
    2. 11 + -3 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • (3 − 6) × (3 − 11) = 24Steps
    1. 3 − 6 = -3
    2. 3 − 11 = -8
    3. -3 × -8 = 24
  • (6 − 3) × (11 − 3) = 24Steps
    1. 6 − 3 = 3
    2. 11 − 3 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 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.
