HOW TO PLAY: Calculate using the numbers in the box to solve for a target number.  All four numbers must be used only once for each solution.  Add, subtract, multiply and/or divide using order of operations rules.  At least one solution is guaranteed for targets -6 to 6.

1/3 4
5 7
  
( 5-4-7 ) x 1/3 =-2
5 x 4 - 7 ÷ 1/3 =-1
(7+5) x 1/3 - 4 = 0
(7+5) x 1/3 ÷ 4 = 1
(7-5) ÷ 1/3 - 4 = 2
(4-7) x 1/3 - 5 =-6 5 x 4 ÷ (7-1/3) = 3
5 x 1/3 x (4-7) =-5 (7-4) ÷ 1/3 - 5 = 4
(5+4) x 1/3 - 7 =-4 5 x 1/3 x (7-4) = 5
(5x4) ÷ (1/3-7) =-3 (7-4) x 1/3 + 5 = 6
   

It's your turn!  Use the numbers below to reach 1 to 6 and -1 to -6.
