only using the numbers once
The prime factorization of 120 is not 2345 because 2345 is not a factor of 120. The prime factorization of 120 is 2^3 * 3 * 5, which means that 120 can be expressed as the product of primes 2, 3, and 5.
Assuming all of {7, 8, 2, 3} have to be used exactly once: (8 - 2) x (7 - 3) = 24.

3! = 6.
2 - 3 + 4 + 5
Well, honey, you take the number 2345, subtract 2317, and voila, you've got yourself a nice little 28. Just remember, it's all about playing with numbers like a mathematical magician. Now go impress your friends with that math trick, darling.
