Please help CAT=(C+A+T)*C*A*T
Please help out with the logic of this...If trial and error is the method then there must be some logic to get to the answer quickly..have been trying to find out the logic for 3 days now...cant get through it..

Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Please help CAT=(C+A+T)*C*A*T
I read it as C*A*T=(C+A+T)*C*A*T due to the fact that two or more variables right next to each other assume multiplication and,
My answer
Edit- fixed an error with my solution

CAT is the number formed out of the digits C, A and T.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.
