Tool/Solveur to find missing number/fill the blanks puzzles/equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
A calculation with blanks such as an addition, a subtraction, a multiplication, or a division is a math exercise that involves finding the missing numbers and digits.
Solving a calculation with operators and missing digits is similar to a cryptarithm and uses deduction and extraction of parts of the calculation.
Example: Exercise : find ? in the operation ??5 + 42? = 539 => 115 + 424 = 539
Example: 12 + 23 = ? has no solution but 12 + 23 = ?? has for solution 12 + 23 = 35
It is useful to calculate digits at extremities, or check individually calculations to the ten digits, or the hundreds digit etc.
dCode also has a cryptarithm solver (where blanks are letters), a mathematical equation solver or even a countdown game calculation tool.
dCode solver allow usual operators like additions +, subtractions -, multiplications * and divisions /. It also handles comparison operators superior and inferior > and <.
The blanks have to be replaced by ? (interrogation marks). There is no limit but above 7 or 8, the calculation will be very long.
Example: 1+?=3 is solved with 1+2=3
Example: 2*?=8 is solved with 2*4=8
This solver uses a brute-force method, this means that it tries all combinations and display the possible ones.
