# One million

Write the million number (1000000) by using only 9 numbers and algebraic operations plus, minus, times, divided, powers, and squares. Find at least three different solutions.

Correct result:

a =  1000000
b =  1000000
c =  1000000

#### Solution:

$a=999999+9\mathrm{/}9=1000000$
$c=\left(9+9\mathrm{/}9{\right)}^{\left(9+9+9+9+9+9\right)\mathrm{/}9}=1000000$
