Are there any other shorter expressions for 8 by manipulating exactly 4 4?












1












$begingroup$


The label $4times 4 -4 -4$ for 8 seems to be too long. I am looking for other shorter ones while maintaining the constraint of only using four 4.

Are there such expressions?

Here is one: $frac{4times4}4+4=8$



Here is another one: $frac{4!}{4-frac44}=8$

      The first one probably looks more consistent with the others if written as $4 times frac{4+4}{4}$.

    $begingroup$

    We have $8=4+4^{4/4}$, which plays nicely with your existing $4=4+4^{4-4}$.



    Edit: Or $8=4+log_4 4^4=log_4 4^{4+4}$, if you want to bring in a new ingredient.
