    Default maths problem

    Can u make the numbers 1 to 13 inclusive using only subtraction and multiplication and the numbers 2 and 3?
    u can use the signs and numbers as many times as u like.

    for e.g 14 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 - 2

    for e.g 14 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 - 2
    1 = 3-2
    2 = 3x2/3
    3 = 3x2/2
    4 = 2x2
    5 = 2+3
    6 = 2x3
    7 = 2x2+3
    8 = 2x3+2
    9 = 3x3
    10 = 2=3x2
    11 = 2x4+3
    12 = 2x2x3

    for e.g 14 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 - 2
    2x2=4x2=8x2=16-3= 13

    2x2=4x3 = 12

    2x2=4x2=8x2=16-3= 13 -2 = 11

    2x2=4x2=8x2=16 -3x2 = 10

    3x3= 9

    2x2x2 = 8

    3x3-2 = 7

    3x2 = 6

    3x3-2 =7-2 = 5

    2x2 = 4

    3

    2

    3-2 = 1
