Question

use the numbers 1,3,4,6 exactly once with any basic math operation(multiplication,division,addition and subtraction) to total 24​

Answer 1

Among the given numbers you can see that 6*4 gives you 24 but you have to use 1 and 3 .

You can't multiply 1 and 3 in numerator because you won't get 24, and you can't even divide it by 1,3 .

So only way is to get 1 in the denominator which can be obtained by

6/(1–(3/4)

which simplifies to 6/(1/4) = 24

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is 4*6! We have to play with these numbers (1,3, and 4) to create 4, or we have to play with these numbers (1,3, and 6) to create 6.

If you divide 6 by 1/4, you will get 24.

If you divide 4 by 1/6, you will get 24.

How to create 1/4 from 1,3, and 4?

How to create 1/6 from 1,3, and 6?

Creating 1/4 from 1,3, and 4 is possible by doing this: 1–3/4, it is =1/4!

So, the answer is 6/[1–3/4]=24.
