Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

4 × 6 + 5 − 5 = 24

  1. 4 × 6 = 24
  2. 5 − 5 = 0
  3. 24 + 0 = 24

4 solutions

  • 6 × (4 + 5 − 5) = 24Steps
    1. 4 + 5 = 9
    2. 9 − 5 = 4
    3. 6 × 4 = 24
  • 4 × 5 ÷ (5 ÷ 6) = 24Steps
    1. 4 × 5 = 20
    2. 5 ÷ 6 = 5/6
    3. 20 ÷ 5/6 = 24
  • 4 × (6 + 5 − 5) = 24Steps
    1. 5 − 5 = 0
    2. 6 + 0 = 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.
