Can you make the number 914 by combining

2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10

using addition, subtraction, division, multiplication.

I can't !

    916 is best I can do and I am off to a meeting boo

    3+7 =10
    x 10
    =100
    x9
    =900
    + 2x8
    916

    me too
    eg 8+3=11, 10+2=12 - and 11 * 12 =132

    132*7=924, take away 9 = 915

    8-3 = 5
    5 * 10 = 50
    50 * 9 = 450
    450+7 = 457
    457 * 2 = 914
