Hi! Use the numbers 8,3,4,6 and any operation to make the number 24

[asdfasdfasdf]

Use the numbers 8,3,4,6 and any operation to make the number 24 (you can only use each operation once)!

Have fun!

I strongly suspect there's meant to be another criteria here: Each number must only be used once, and all numbers must be used. Without that, there's infinitely many possible solutions, some of which are trivial. For instance 8+8+8, or 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3 or 4+4+4+4+4, or 6+6+6+6.

You may also want to specify what is meant be "operations." I assume the four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) are included, but what about powers or logarithms, etc.?

I think what was intended, but not stated by the OP, is to use all four digits 3, 4, 6, 8, exactly once to form an expression that equals 24.
No other digits may be used. The only operations that may be used (chosen from) are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Parentheses are allowed. Concatenation is not allowed.

6(4 + 8)/3 = 24

As an aside, if I were to include concatenation, I would offer these (along with the concatenation one that Denis gave):


3/(6/48) = 24

3/(8/64) = 24

Yes, thanks for answering, in truth this is the 24 game and I was conducting a social expiriment for google, thanks to all!

You have not properly described the parameters of the 24 Game.
