0 Debasis Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) 9/99 did you mean (9/9)^9 if it is then it is correct...There are many possible combinations...i wanted the one with subtraction sign...

0 Perhaps check it again Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 (9*(9 - 9))! = 1 ((9 - 9)/9)! = 1 I was looking for the square root symbol to do: (9 - sqrt(9*9))! = 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Perhaps check it again Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 BMAD, I purposely did not include any solution like yours, because the OP in post # 1 and post # 5 stated that he/she wanted a subtraction sign used among the mathematical signs.
