Tanya started it :-)

My son came home with this one:

Using the numbers 1 to 9 inclusive, construct a sum that equals 1,000,000.
You may use each number only once. You can use less than 9 numbers. You
can
only use +-/*().

e.g. 173 * (4568 + 92) = 806,180

I can get 999,999. Someone put us out of our misery and get it bang on
please.

(718-93)*64*25

wtg dave ;-)

(197 + 3) * 625 * 8 will do it without the 4...
but I like yours better (uses all 9 numbers)

Especially since using all 9 digits was a requirement.
