Learn the rules of Make 24

Read the aim of Make 24, then make your first move. Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Each generated starting set has a verified solution; fractions are allowed.

Something to practise

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Follow these playing steps

  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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

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.
