NumberWiz sum 658: Solution

Hi, here's a solution to yesterday's 658 sum.


Q: How do you add, subtract, multiply and divide 2, 5, 25, 50, 75, 100 to get 658 ?


A: Since we have a 2, we start by finding that: 658 = 2 x 329.


Here's how to get 329:
329 = ((5 x 75) - 50) + (100 / 25)


Another beautiful way to get 329 is:
329 = (5 x 50) + 75 + (100 / 25)


Nice hey!

NumberWiz sum 739: Solution

Hi all NumberWiz friends.

Yesterday's problem was:

How do you add, subtract, multiply and divide 2 3 4 7 8 25 to get 739 ?

I thought it was rather difficult.

One solution is:

739 = 8 * 4 * (25 - 2) + 3

NumberWiz sum 313

Dear NumberWizards, here's the proposed solution for yesterday's problem, which was:
How do you add, subtract, multiply and divide 1 2 3 25 75 100 to get 313 ?
One thing stands out about 313: it's 626 divided by 2, and 2 is one of our numbers. 

Further we have that 626 is (25 * 25) + 1.
Hence the solution is:
313 = (25 x (75 / 3) + 1) / 2
