4 4 5 5 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

5 × 5 − 4 ÷ 4 = 24

  1. 5 × 5 = 25
  2. 4 ÷ 4 = 1
  3. 25 − 1 = 24

3 solutions

  • 5 × (4 + 4 ÷ 5) = 24Steps
    1. 4 ÷ 5 = 4/5
    2. 4 + 4/5 = 24/5
    3. 5 × 24/5 = 24
  • 4 × (5 − (4 − 5)) = 24Steps
    1. 4 − 5 = -1
    2. 5 − -1 = 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.
