Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

4 × 6 × (9 − 8) = 24

  1. 4 × 6 = 24
  2. 9 − 8 = 1
  3. 24 × 1 = 24

4 solutions

  • 4 × 6 ÷ (9 − 8) = 24Steps
    1. 4 × 6 = 24
    2. 9 − 8 = 1
    3. 24 ÷ 1 = 24
  • 6 + 9 ÷ (4 ÷ 8) = 24Steps
    1. 4 ÷ 8 = 1/2
    2. 9 ÷ 1/2 = 18
    3. 6 + 18 = 24
  • 9 × (4 − 8 ÷ 6) = 24Steps
    1. 8 ÷ 6 = 4/3
    2. 4 − 4/3 = 8/3
    3. 9 × 8/3 = 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.
