How do you get 1 to 8 in 2 ways maths?

There are many ways to get the numbers 1 through 8 using only two mathematical operations. The operations and the exact method will depend on what operations are allowed (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, etc.) and whether you're allowed to reuse numbers.

Here are a couple of examples using addition and multiplication, assuming you can reuse numbers:

Example 1 (using only 2 and 3):

* 1: 3 - 2

* 2: 2

* 3: 3

* 4: 2 + 2

* 5: 3 + 2

* 6: 2 * 3

* 7: 3 + 2 + 2

* 8: 2 * 2 * 2

Example 2 (using only 1 and 2):

This example requires more complex operations. It's difficult to generate all numbers from 1 to 8 using *only* 1 and 2 with just two operations unless you allow exponentiation. For simplicity, let's demonstrate with a limited set:

* 1: 1

* 2: 2

* 3: 2 + 1

* 4: 2 * 2

* 8: 2 * 2 * 2

To create a complete solution for 1-8 using only two operations and a limited set of numbers, you'd need to specify the allowable operations and numbers. There might not even be a solution if you restrict the options too much.
