How long does it take you to solve this puzzle?
Mathematics is a science that requires significant thinking and logic. As a result, there are many “brain teaser” problems that have emerged to challenge people’s thinking and sharp problem-solving skills.
If you are confident in your abilities, you can test yourself with the clever math problem below. If you can solve it quickly, you might just be a genius.
Question: Try to find the relationship between the following calculations:
8 + 2 = 16106
5 + 4 = 2091
9 + 6 = 54153
7 + 5 = 35122
20 + 3 = 602317
Clearly, 8 + 2 does not equal 16106. So what interesting phenomenon is happening here? What does the number 16106 mean?

The general method for solving this can be summarized as follows: If you simultaneously perform multiplication, addition, and subtraction with the two numbers before the equals sign, the results of these three operations will combine to form the final result.
Example for demonstration:
Consider the first calculation “8 + 2 = 16106”. If we now perform the three operations: “8 x 2”, “8 + 2”, and “8 – 2”, the results of each operation will combine to form the final result.
8 × 2 = 16
8 + 2 = 10
8 – 2 = 6
The obtained results are 16, 10, and 6. When placed together in a sequence, they form the number 16106. Performing the same steps with the other calculations will yield similar results. This is the answer to the common link in the above problem.
