    Use five 5s to make 37

    Can you make a target number 37 by using five 5s? You can use any math operator as you want. There are at least two different ways.

    (5 * 5) + (5! / (5+5))

    Re: Use five 5s to make 37

    ((5!+5!)-55)/5 = (120+120-55)/5 = 185/5 = 37
    5!/(5+5)+5*5 = 120/10 + 25 = 12 + 25 = 37

    Using "raising to the 5th power"
    ((5+5)/5)**5 + 5 = 37

    Thanks
