Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem! To make 8 using four 5's, you can add 5 + 5 to get 10, and then subtract 2 (5 - 5) to get 8. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes you have to mix and match to create something wonderful!

To make 8 using four 5s, you can use the following mathematical operations: 5 + 5 - (5/5) = 8. This equation breaks down as follows: adding two 5s gives you 10, then subtracting 1 (5/5) gives you 9, and finally subtracting another 1 gives you 8.

Oh, dude, that's easy! You take one of the fives and cut it in half, then you put those halves together with the other three fives to make an 8. It's like magic, but with numbers.

You do
5!/(5+5+5)=8


!=factorial
factorial e.g 5!=5*4*3*2*1 or 3!=3*2*1
