How do you make 26 using 1, 2, 3, and 4, each only once?

Hello,
It is easy, you can descompose the number to do it easier:
26 | 2 13 | 13 1
26= 2 * 13
We have 2, so, we have to get 13 with 1, 3 and 4
3*4 = 12 12+1 = 13
We got it, so the answer is:
2*[(3*4)+1]
Now, the excersice doesn't say that we can't put it together, so I think this can be another answer:
24+3-1=26

2x(4x3+1) Is the answer

To create the number 26 using the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4 each only once, you can express it as 26 = 2 × (3 × 4 + 1) or also as 26 = 24 + 3 - 1. Both approaches satisfy the condition of using each number only once. By creatively using multiplication and addition, we reach the target number 26 effectively.
