3 4 7 11 = 24: 4 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

3 × (11 + 4 − 7) = 24

  1. 4 − 7 = -3
  2. 11 + -3 = 8
  3. 3 × 8 = 24

4 solutions

  • (7 + 11) ÷ (3 ÷ 4) = 24Steps
    1. 7 + 11 = 18
    2. 3 ÷ 4 = 3/4
    3. 18 ÷ 3/4 = 24
  • (3 − 11) × (4 − 7) = 24Steps
    1. 3 − 11 = -8
    2. 4 − 7 = -3
    3. -8 × -3 = 24
  • (7 − 4) × (11 − 3) = 24Steps
    1. 7 − 4 = 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.
