You can use three 2s to make 26 as follows (2x2)! + 2 = 26 So you can simply make 26 with five 2s as (2x2!) + 2 - 2 + 2 = 26
(22/2+2)x2
Well, honey, if you want to make five 2s equal five, all you gotta do is write it as 2 + 2 + 2/2 = 5. Simple math, darling. Just divide one of those pesky 2s by 2 and voila, you've got yourself a nice little equation that adds up to 5.
Not sure about five, but you can make 42 with 6 2s with this method: 2[(22)! - (2/2) - 2] = 42
(2x2x2)/2 + 2
