    853 is not possible (I don't think)
    Closest I can get is 854

    9 * 6 = 54
    75 * 10 = 750

    If correct and not possible:

    Edit:
    Sorry, after just looking at the o.p. on the original thread, and I see I have made a mistake by using "15".
    So, I will substitute 15 for 7.

    Using my original formula, which I hope is in keeping with the spirit of the game...

    4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 75.

    You forgot to use the "4" and the "8"

    Solution was
    (9 x 7 = 63) + (5 x 75 = 375) - (8 x 4 = 32) = 406

    It isn't a requirement to use all the numbers.
