Here is one set of solutions. The answers here are not unique. 1 = (4*4)/(4*4) 2 = 4/4 + 4/4 3 = (4+4+4)/4 4 = (4-4)*4 + 4 5 = (4*4 + 4) / 4 6 = 4 + (4+4)/4 7 = 4 + 4 - 4/4 8 = 4 + 4 + 4 - 4 9 = 4 + 4 + 4/4 10 = (44 - 4)/4
3 simple solutions (there are more): (4-4)/4 + 4 = 4 4*(4-4)+ 4 = 4 4-((4-4)/4)) = 4
I'll start it, but I'm not going to finish it! 4 X 4 / 4 - 4 = 0 44 / 44 = 1 4 / 4 + 4 / 4 = 2 (4 + 4 + 4) / 4 = 3 (4 / 4)4 X 4 = 4 (4 / 4)4 + 4 = 5 (4 + 4) / 4 + 4 = 6 44 / 4 - 4 = 7 4 + 4 + 4 - 4 = 8 4 / 4 + 4 + 4 = 9 (44 - 4) / 4 = 10 (44 + 4) / 4 = 12 4! - 44 / 4 = 13 4! / 4 + 4 + 4 = 14 44 / 4 + 4 = 15 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 4 X 4 + 4 / 4 = 17 4 / √4 + 4 * 4 = 18 4! - 4 + 4 - 4 = 20 4! / 4 + 4 X 4 = 22 4 X 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 44 - 4 * 4 = 28 (4 + 4 / 4)! / 4 = 30 44 / (4 + 4) = 32 4! + 44 / 4 = 35 4!
