Use each number exactly once. You may use +, −, ×, ÷ and parentheses. Fractions and negative intermediate results are allowed. You cannot join digits or use powers.
A small hint
Try doing a small calculation inside parentheses first.
One possible solution
(6+4-2)×3 = 24
- 6 + 4 = 10
- 10 − 2 = 8
- 8 × 3 = 24
Read the solution
