ou have to only use the numbers 25, 100, 6, 9, 10, 7 only once. You may add, subtract, divide and multiply according to the math laws. Find all combinations of calculation this and sort them closest to the answer (826). One line equation per try. Do not show step-by-step calculation unless you have to be excact 826. When you find the result you need to show the calculations. If calculations is wrong you must try again.

from itertools import permutations, product

# Define the numbers and the target
numbers = [25, 100, 6, 9, 10, 7]
target = 826

# Possible operations
operations = ['+', '-', '*', '/']

# Generate all possible permutations of the numbers
number_permutations = list(permutations(numbers))

# Generate all possible combinations of operations (5 operations for 6 numbers)
operation_combinations = list(product(operations, repeat=5))

# To store the closest equation and the closest result
closest_equation = None
closest_result = None

# To store the exact match if found
exact_match = None

# Evaluate each combination of numbers and operations
for num_perm in number_permutations:
    for op_comb in operation_combinations:
        # Form the equation
        equation = f"{num_perm[0]}{op_comb[0]}{num_perm[1]}{op_comb[1]}{num_perm[2]}{op_comb[2]}{num_perm[3]}{op_comb[3]}{num_perm[4]}{op_comb[4]}{num_perm[5]}"
        try:
            # Evaluate the equation
            result = eval(equation)
            # Check if this result is closer to the target than the previous ones
            if closest_result is None or abs(result - target) < abs(closest_result - target):
                closest_result = result
                closest_equation = equation
            # Check for an exact match
            if result == target:
                exact_match = equation
                break
        except ZeroDivisionError:
            continue
    if exact_match:
        break

closest_equation, closest_result, exact_matchThe closest result I found is:

\[ 100 \times 9 - 25 \div 6 - 10 \times 7 = 825.83 \]

This is not exactly 826 but it's the closest I could get. Would you like more details or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How can we get an exact match of 826 using different numbers or operations?
2. What role do parentheses play in changing the order of operations?
3. How would adding an exponent operation change the possible combinations?
4. Can we reach the target by rearranging the numbers differently?
5. What happens if we try to minimize the number of operations used?

**Tip:** When working with fractions or division, small decimal differences can result in a close but not exact match.
