Target Number

How to play

A numbers-game puzzle. Combine the four given numbers, each at most once, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, to build an expression equal to the target.

Rules

  • Click numbers and operators to build an expression — brackets are available too.
  • Your running result is shown live as you build the expression.
  • Use ⌫ to remove the last character, or Clear to start the expression over.
  • Build an expression equal to the target number to win — try again with Clear if you want a different solution.

Tips

Try multiplication early — it closes the gap to a large target far faster than repeated addition, then fine-tune the rest with addition or subtraction.
