3 6 9 13 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

6 ÷ 3 + 9 + 13 = 24

  1. 6 ÷ 3 = 2
  2. 9 + 13 = 22
  3. 2 + 22 = 24

3 solutions

  • 3 × 13 − (6 + 9) = 24Steps
    1. 3 × 13 = 39
    2. 6 + 9 = 15
    3. 39 − 15 = 24
  • (3 + 13) ÷ (6 ÷ 9) = 24Steps
    1. 3 + 13 = 16
    2. 6 ÷ 9 = 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.
