3 7 7 13 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

7 + 13 − (3 − 7) = 24

  1. 7 + 13 = 20
  2. 3 − 7 = -4
  3. 20 − -4 = 24

3 solutions

  • (3 − 7) × (7 − 13) = 24Steps
    1. 3 − 7 = -4
    2. 7 − 13 = -6
    3. -4 × -6 = 24
  • (7 − 3) × (13 − 7) = 24Steps
    1. 7 − 3 = 4
    2. 13 − 7 = 6
    3. 4 × 6 = 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.
