Make 24: rules and examples

Take a moment with Make 24 before moving to another game. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Try a more deliberate round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.

Understand the aim

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Work through the instructions

  1. Choose two values in order.
  2. Choose addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
  3. Combine and repeat.
  4. Undo explores alternatives; Show solution reveals a verified expression.

The controls to know

Tap two values, an operation and Combine. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.

See the idea in action

8 ÷ (3 − 8 ÷ 3) = 24. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.

Pay attention to this rule

Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
