    88÷33=8÷3
    8*3=24

    88/33
    =8/3
    8×3=2

    piece a cake

    (8*3)/3*8
    24/3*3
    8*3
    24

    (8*8/3)-3=24

    to get result of 24 against the given number 3,3,8,8

    multiply 8 x 8 = 64
    divide by 3 = 64/3 = 21
    add by 3 = 21 + 3 = 24

    3*8/8*8=24

    1st method through LCM result will be 24

    2nd method through simplyfy
    3,3,8,8
    3(1,1) x 8(1,1)
    (3×8) x (1,1)
    (24) x (1)
    24

  10. Jabs March 21, 2013 at 5:24 AM #

    3*3*8*8=576
    square root of 576 is 24

      8*3=24
      -8*-3=24

    8/(3-(8/3))
    8/(3-2.666666667)
    8/0.333333333
    =24

  12. Syed Asif March 9, 2013 at 6:58 PM #

    very simple ( read the question carefully and it say you can use any of the 4)
    3+3+8+8+=24

    • Ammad October 6, 2013 at 11:20 AM #

      Dear improve ur mathematics…

      3+3+8+8= 22 not 24

  13. Harun March 5, 2013 at 12:51 PM #

    8*8/3+3=24.3

  14. raid bish February 1, 2013 at 1:17 PM #

    8÷(3?(8÷3))
    X
    y
    j

    =24

  15. SHAHID B. VICHHI January 28, 2013 at 10:27 AM #

    8 / (3-(8/3))

    take LCM
    and divide the result by 8
    it will get 8/1/3
    hence, 8*3=24

  16. Adeel Nayyer December 9, 2012 at 4:15 PM #

    8 / ( 3 – 8 / 3 )

    Taking LCM
    = 8 / ( ( 9 – 8 ) / 3 )
    = 8 / ( 1 / 3 )
    = 8 * 3
    = 24

  17. Adeel Nayyer December 9, 2012 at 4:10 PM #

    8 / (3 – (8 / 3))

    Taking LCM
    = 8 / ((9 – 8) / 3)
    = 8 / (1 / 3)
    = 8 * 3
    = 24

    8×8=64
    64/3=21
    21+3=24

    3*8=3*8
    24

  23. O.P. Sharma October 19, 2012 at 7:36 PM #

    The solution is as under:-

    /(8*8) * /(3*3)

  24. seema October 17, 2012 at 12:41 PM #

    8×8/3-3=24

  25. Pravat October 16, 2012 at 3:48 AM #

    we should use * – * and /
    we must use 3,3,8 and 8
    answer would be ((-8 * 8)/-3)+3
    actually bracket need not be used. but here in PC it has been used.it can be written as follows:
    -8 * 8
    ———- + 3
    -3
    thank u
