Question

242=26
528=20
184=21
456=??​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two reasons that many mathematicians don't like this kind of puzzle.

"242=26" is false. It's wrong. It's bad. It's just not true. If you want to use some other symbol like 242≈26 then you can define "≈" however you want, but (aside from maybe suppressing the notation of equivalence classes) it is just a terrible idea to write "242=26".

Assuming they mean something like

242 ↦ 26, 528 ↦ 20, 184 ↦ 21, 456 ↦ ?

there is also the issue that you can literally create a rule to give any value you want for the missing number. For example,

(-889 × input² + 624674 × input - 24926176)/2853136 ↦ output

satisfies the three given examples and leads to 465 ↦ 4691879/178321. But

(1186853/373669515648)input³ + (-69371573/20759417536)input² + (241356350/224561007)input + (-7378876880/88463427) ↦ output

also satisfies the three given examples and leads to 465 ↦ 13. Unless you give some restrictions on what kinds of rules are allowed, there is not just one answer.
