  1. Must solve in sequence? Here is some easy ones …

    16 = 4+4+4+4
    20 = (4!-4)*4/4
    24 = 44-4!+4
    28 = 44-4*4
    32 = (4^2)
    36 = 44-4-4
    40 = 4!+4!-4-4
    43 = 44-4/4
    44 = 44*4/4
    45 = 44+4/4
    48 = (4+4+4)*4
    52 = 44+4+4
    56 = 4!+4!+4+4
    60 = 44+4*4
    64 = 4^2+4^2+4^2+4^2
    68 = 4*4+4*4
    88 = 44+44
    96 = (4!*4)*4/4

  2. 49 = 4! + 4! + 4/4
    47 = 4! + 4! – 4/4
    54 = 4! + 4! + 4! /4
    72 = 4^2 * 4 + 4 + 4
    76 = 4!+4!+4!+4
    80 = 4^2 + 4! + 4! + 4^2
