All 10 \boxed {10} are possible:

( 0 ! + 0 ! + 0 ! ) ! = 6 ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) ! = 6 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 3 × 3 3 = 6 4 + 4 + 4 = 6 5 ÷ 5 + 5 = 6 6 + 6 6 = 6 7 7 ÷ 7 = 6 ( 8 ÷ 8 + 8 ) ! = 6 ( 9 + 9 9 ) ! = 6 \begin{aligned} (0!+0!+0!)! & = 6 \\ (1+1+1)! & = 6 \\ 2+2+2 & = 6 \\ 3 \times 3 - 3 & = 6 \\ \sqrt 4 + \sqrt 4 + \sqrt 4 & = 6 \\ 5 \div 5 + 5 & = 6 \\ 6+6-6 & = 6 \\ 7 - 7 \div 7 & = 6 \\ \left(\sqrt {8 \div 8 + 8}\right)! & = 6 \\ \left(\sqrt {9+9-9}\right)! & = 6 \end{aligned}

Notation: ! ! denotes the factorial notation . For example: 8 ! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 8! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 \times 8 .

Precisely how I did it!

There are multiple ways to answer each question, so all 10 are possible:

( 0 ! + 0 ! + 0 ! ) ! = 6 ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) ! = 6 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 3 × 3 3 = 6 4 + 4 + 4 = 6 5 + 5 ÷ 5 = 6 6 + 6 6 = 6 7 7 ÷ 7 = 6 8 8 + 8 = 6 ( 9 ( 9 + 9 ) ) ! = 6 \begin{aligned} (0! + 0! + 0!)! & = 6 \\ (1 + 1 + 1)! & = 6 \\ 2 + 2 + 2 & = 6 \\ 3 \times 3 - 3 & = 6 \\ \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{4} & = 6 \\ 5 + 5 \div 5 & = 6 \\ 6 + 6 - 6 & = 6 \\ 7 - 7 \div 7 & = 6 \\ 8 - \sqrt{\sqrt{8+8}} & = 6 \\ \left(9 - \left(\sqrt{9} + \sqrt{9}\right)\right)! & = 6 \end{aligned}

Notation: ! ! denotes the factorial notation . For example: 8 ! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 8! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 \times 8 .

The sqrt means square root (there was an error in the post)

@ll T.O.P ll §Mart , you need to put \ ( \ ) \backslash ( \ \ \backslash ) or \ [ \ ] \backslash [ \ \ \backslash ] to effect the LaTex code. I have edited your solution. Take a look.

Thank you for fixing it.
