Harder Mathematical Problems

Troubling Twenty-Four ★★★

With the digits 1, 4, 5 and 6, you must make 24, using the following rules:

  • each digit must be used exactly once;
  • the allowed operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (note: exponentiation is therefore not allowed!);
  • digits may not be concatenated (so, for example, it is not allowed to use 1 and 4 as 14);
  • brackets are allowed.
