Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.

Starting from a given set of four numbers, we will follow this search process:\n- At each state, we will consider all possible number pairs (in order) from the current number set. Choose one pair and apply one of the four basic operations to them to obtain a new number.\n * If there are still numbers left, we will add the new number to the number set and continue the search.\n * If we have used all numbers, we will check if the new number is equal to the target number. If it is, we have found the solution. Otherwise, we will backtrack.\n- Suppose the two numbers we choose are a and b (where a >= b). We will try the four options (a + b), (a - b), (a * b), (a \/ b) to obtain the new number. Remember to always use the larger number as the first operand.\n- If the new number is a decimal, or exceeds the maximum intermediate result, we will discard this branch and backtrack.\n- We will continue this process until we reach the target number with four numbers used or exhaust all possible combinations.\n\n[EXAMPLES]\n# Example\nNumbers: [40, 19, 23, 7]\nTarget: 29\n\n# Search Procedure\nInitial number set: [40, 19, 23, 7], target: 29.
