Let's work with the numbers: 75, 25, 3, 1, 10, and 2, and find a way to reach 596 through basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

We can start by multiplying some of these numbers together to approach 596.

1. $75 \times 2 = 150$
2. $150 \times 3 = 450$
3. $450 + 25 = 475$
4. $475 + 75 = 550$
5. $550 + 1 = 551$
6. $551 + 25 = 576$
7. $576 + 25 = 596$

Thus, we have reached 596 using only the provided numbers: 75, 25, 3, 1, 10, and 2.

2. What would happen if division was introduced in your steps?
3. Can you find multiple solutions to get the same result?
4. How could we make use of all numbers without repeating any in the equation?
5. What strategies could be used to approach such problems more systematically?

Tip: When solving problems like this, try starting with multiplication to create larger numbers, and then use addition or subtraction to fine-tune the result.
