If there is no specification of how many times you may use the numbers, or what type of mathematical operations is ok, you may do it in a lot of different ways. One possible solution might be:
(4x5)+(2x3)-2 = 24
5x2=10-2=8x3=24
3 x 23= 3 x 8 = 24
2+3+7+9+3=24
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
1, 2 and 21 when added.
One possibility is :- 52 - (3 - 2) = 25 - 1 = 24 Another is :- 22 + 5 - 3 = 24 also 25 + 2 - 3 = 24
1*2*3*4=24
Yes. 6*(5 - 3)*2 = 6*2*2 = 12*2 = 24
2 and 3 2*2*2*3 = 24 or 23*3 = 24
5! / 4 - 2 * 3
9/3 = 6, 8/2 = 4, then 6 x 4 = 24.
Prime factorization is where you take a number like 24 and make it into the prime numbers that multuply to make it. like this 24 / \ 4 6 / \ / \ 2 2 2 3 The prime factorization of 24 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, or 2 cubed times 3. All you have to do is make the factor tree and think of two numbers that, multuplied, make the number before it until it's all prime numbers like I did.
