Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Want to try this simple problem just for fun?

Use the numbers 1, 3, 4, and 6 EXACTLY one time each.

Use only these symbols +, -, *, /, (, ) (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parentheses) but use each as many times as you want.

Create an expression that is equal to 24.

The first answer that satisfies these conditions wins!

Update:

No other numbers except exactly one each of 1, 3, 4, and 6 may be used. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

    If you can combine digits, (14-6)x(3)

    If not... 6!/4!-3!*1! (the !s are factorials)

    That's all I've got...
