3 4 6 13 = 24: 2 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

6 ÷ (13 ÷ 4 − 3) = 24

  1. 13 ÷ 4 = 13/4
  2. 13/4 − 3 = 1/4
  3. 6 ÷ 1/4 = 24

2 solutions

  • (3 + 13) ÷ (4 ÷ 6) = 24Steps
    1. 3 + 13 = 16
    2. 4 ÷ 6 = 2/3
    3. 16 ÷ 2/3 = 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.
