    Nearest I can get is 832:

    (3*2)=6
    6+2=8
    8*4=32
    25+1=26
    32*26=832

    If nothing exact arises new target is 531

    you've used 5 twice above...
    (change to 306 + (25-10) = 321)
    ---

    ((50 + 6) * 10 ) - (4*2)) = 552

    Where are you getting the 10 from to solve the equation?

    100 * (4+1) +50+2 = 552

    And just to solve your one.

    75*5-100-10-1=264

    .

    I might be having a slow afternoon but I'm not seeing it. Could you do the full problem showing me how you got the answer if you don't mind. I'm probably juzt blind.

    Original solution was
    corglass wrote: »
    (3x(100+2)) = 306
    50 ÷5 = 10
    306+5+10 = 321

    1 2 4 6 50 100
    552

    But that uses 5 twice (bolded)

    If you do this
    (3x(100+2)) = 306
    50 ÷5 = 10
    306+ (25 - 10) = 321

    you get there.

    I meant in your solution to the 552. There's no 10 but you have one in there. That's why I answered it.
