Question

Try to get to every number from 1 to 10 using four 4's and any number of arithmetic operations (+, −, ×, ÷). You may also you parentheses.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. 4/4+4-4=1

2. 4/4+4/4=2

3. 4+4/4-4=3

4. 4 × (4 − 4) + 4=4

5. (4 × 4 + 4) / 4=5

6. 44 / 4 − 4=6

7. 4+4-4/4=7

8. 4+4+4-4=8

9. 4+4+4/9=9

10. 44 / 4.4=10

Answer 2

1 = (4 x 4)/(4 x 4) or (4 + 4)/(4 + 4) or (4 / 4) x (4 / 4) or (4 / 4)/(4 / 4)

2= (4 x 4)/(4 + 4) or 4 / ((4+4)/4)

3= (4 + 4 + 4)/4 or (4 x 4 - 4)/4

4 = 4 - (4 - 4)/4

5 = (4 x 4 + 4)/4

6 = 4 + (4 + 4)/4

7 = 4 - (4/4) + 4

8 = 4 + (4 x 4)/4

9 = 4 + 4 + (4/4)

10 - I tried the best. You might need ! or sqrt operator to get 4.

Updated:

I forgot we could use 4, 44, 444, or 4444, so that 10 could be expressed as:

10 = (44 - 4)/4
