5 6 8 10 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

5 × 6 × 8 ÷ 10 = 24

  1. 5 × 6 = 30
  2. 8 ÷ 10 = 4/5
  3. 30 × 4/5 = 24

3 solutions

  • 5 × 8 − (6 + 10) = 24Steps
    1. 5 × 8 = 40
    2. 6 + 10 = 16
    3. 40 − 16 = 24
  • 10 × (8 − 5) − 6 = 24Steps
    1. 8 − 5 = 3
    2. 10 × 3 = 30
    3. 30 − 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.
