Math Problem Statement
Please list every combination of 4 of these numbers(200,245,290,300,310,314,318,325,350,360,360,385,390,405,405,435,440,442,460,490,545,670,680,680) that add up to 1484.
Solution
To find all the combinations of 4 numbers from the list that sum up to 1484, we can approach it systematically. This involves iterating through all possible combinations of 4 numbers, calculating their sum, and checking if it equals 1484.
Here's how we can find the combinations programmatically:
Step-by-step Approach:
- List all combinations: We generate all possible combinations of 4 numbers from the list.
- Check the sum: For each combination, calculate the sum of the four numbers.
- Filter the results: Keep only those combinations where the sum equals 1484.
I'll calculate this now.Here are the combinations of 4 numbers from the list that sum up to 1484:
- (200, 290, 314, 680)
- (200, 290, 314, 680) (Duplicate of the first)
- (200, 300, 314, 670)
- (245, 314, 435, 490)
- (290, 314, 390, 490)
- (300, 314, 325, 545)
- (314, 325, 385, 460)
- (314, 325, 405, 440)
- (314, 325, 405, 440) (Duplicate of the previous)
- (314, 350, 360, 460)
- (314, 350, 360, 460) (Duplicate of the previous)
- (314, 350, 385, 435)
- (314, 360, 405, 405)
- (314, 360, 405, 405) (Duplicate of the previous)
Do you want more details or have any questions?
Further questions:
- What is the importance of removing duplicate combinations?
- How can we generalize this method for different target sums?
- What would happen if we increased the combination size to 5 numbers?
- Can you explain the logic behind using combinations in solving problems like this?
- How can this method be applied in optimization problems?
Tip: Duplicates arise when the same number appears more than once in the original list.
