Solve 288div16[18div6+{26-(16-8-6)}]

$$288 \div 16 [ 18 \div 6 + \{ 26 - ( 16 - 8 - 6 ) \} ]$$

Evaluate

$$486$$

Solution Steps

Divide 288 by 16 to get 18.

$$18\left(\frac{18}{6}+26-\left(16-8-6\right)\right)$$

Divide 18 by 6 to get 3.

$$18\left(3+26-\left(16-8-6\right)\right)$$

Subtract 8 from 16 to get 8.

$$18\left(3+26-\left(8-6\right)\right)$$

Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.

$$18\left(3+26-2\right)$$

Subtract 2 from 26 to get 24.

$$18\left(3+24\right)$$

Add 3 and 24 to get 27.

$$18\times 27$$

Multiply 18 and 27 to get 486.

$$486$$

Factor

$$2\times 3^{5}$$
