Difficulty: HardOpen in Solver

2 × 11 − (4 − 6) = 24

  1. 2 × 11 = 22
  2. 4 − 6 = -2
  3. 22 − -2 = 24

5 solutions

  • 2 − 11 × (4 − 6) = 24Steps
    1. 4 − 6 = -2
    2. 11 × -2 = -22
    3. 2 − -22 = 24
  • 2 × (4 + 11) − 6 = 24Steps
    1. 4 + 11 = 15
    2. 2 × 15 = 30
    3. 30 − 6 = 24
  • 2 + 11 × (6 − 4) = 24Steps
    1. 6 − 4 = 2
    2. 11 × 2 = 22
    3. 2 + 22 = 24
  • 4 ÷ (2 − 11 ÷ 6) = 24Steps
    1. 11 ÷ 6 = 11/6
    2. 2 − 11/6 = 1/6
    3. 4 ÷ 1/6 = 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.
