Use all four numbers exactly once to obtain 24. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The steps to play

See how the rules apply
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Where a round can go wrong
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
