5 9 10 13 = 24: 3 solutions

Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

9 + 13 + 10 ÷ 5 = 24

  1. 9 + 13 = 22
  2. 10 ÷ 5 = 2
  3. 22 + 2 = 24

3 solutions

  • 9 − 5 × (10 − 13) = 24Steps
    1. 10 − 13 = -3
    2. 5 × -3 = -15
    3. 9 − -15 = 24
  • 9 + 5 × (13 − 10) = 24Steps
    1. 13 − 10 = 3
    2. 5 × 3 = 15
    3. 9 + 15 = 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.
