Friday Nights puzzle for the mathematicians out there

[Triple X]

the answer is 24 - but how do you get there?

Use the numbers 7373 to get to 24

You can only use all 4 numbers once and only use all the four basic math functions to get to 24.

For example if you have 4444, you do 4*4 + 4 + 4 = 24.

Good luck - who is going to get the answer first?

[snoopy1239]

3/7+3*7

That's not 24 because you have to do the 3x7 before the +.

If I am to be nit-piccy. 

[snoopy1239]

Well worked out though Ironside.

Not just a face... 

[Ironside]

(3/7+3)*7

[snoopy1239]

(3/7+3)*7
