RE: Math Brain Teasers 20:: Number Puzzle - Add Only 8s to Make 1000

in STEMGeeks5 years ago

It is more like 1000/8 =125. So if you add 8 ,125 times you will get 1000.
So what are best possible option?
888 = 111 times 8
88 = 11 times 8

111+11 =122 and you are short of 3 8's.

so simplest is 888+88+8+8+8
