3 5 6 6 = 24: 2 solutions

Difficulty: MediumOpen in Solver

6 × (6 + 3 − 5) = 24

  1. 3 − 5 = -2
  2. 6 + -2 = 4
  3. 6 × 4 = 24

2 solutions

  • (5 − 3) × (6 + 6) = 24Steps
    1. 5 − 3 = 2
    2. 6 + 6 = 12
    3. 2 × 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.
