SUMMARY

The forum discussion revolves around a mathematical puzzle that requires participants to create combinations of the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) using the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. Participants provided various solutions, including the example of 8 - 7 = 1 + 2 = 3 + 6 = 9 - 5 = 4. The final solution presented was 17 x 4 = 68 + 25 = 93, demonstrating the use of all numbers from 1 to 9 without repetition.

Heres an exciting number puzzle that i got from a friend of mine:

>> make a combination of any of the four basic math operations (+,-,x or /) such that numbers from 1-9 is visible without repeatition.

ex. 2x3=6+1=7

note: it is not necessary that the four operations could be used.

gudlak!
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
9=8+1=7+2=6+3=5+4

That ok?

This is not true in standard notation. I expect you mean:

2x3=6 and 6+1=7. If this is so, then the following (in white) would suffice:


8 - 7 = 1 + 2 = 3 + 6 = 9 - 5 = 4

That is, 8 - 7 = 1 and 1 + 2 = 3 and 3 + 6 = 9 and 9 - 5 = 4

There are other solutions as well.

Ahh, that makes more sense jimmysnyder.
 
9+7+4-8-6-5 = 3-2*1
