Rules:
1.Fill the grid so that each row and column contains every number from 1 to 4 once.
2.An area enclosed with dotted lines is called a cage. Inside each cage, there is a clue with a number and a maths symbol (+, -, × or ÷). You have to use that maths operation on the numbers inside the cage to get the clue number.
3. You can repeat numbers within a cage.
