Find the product, if we know 5 of them We have 4 positive,but not necessarily integers $a, b, c,$ and $d$. So we have 6 options how multiply two of them. And we know 5 of 6 products $2, 3, 4, 5$ and $6$. Find the last product.
 A: One way is to find out which two pairs of the $5$ known numbers give the same product, and then use this product to divide the remaining known number. In your example, by inspection, $2 \times 6$ = $3 \times 4$ = $12$, then $12 / 5 = 2.4$, so the last product is $2.4$.
The reason is: We assume the one pair of product is $(a \times b) \times (c \times d)$, the other pair of product is $(a \times c) \times (b \times d)$, and $(a \times b) \times (c \times d) = (a \times c) \times (b \times d) = (a \times d) \times (b \times c)$, so if we find two pairs of the $5$ known numbers can give the same product, it will be the product of $abcd$. Dividing it by the remaining number $(a \times d)$ gives the remaining product $(b \times c)$.
Edit: This method may sometimes give more than one solution. Consider the case when the given $5$ products are $8, 12, 16, 24$ and $32$, you may pair up $8 \times 24 = 12 \times 16 = 192$, and then divide by $32$ to get $6$ (the $4$ original numbers are $2, 3, 4, 8$ or $\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{12}, \sqrt{\frac{64}{3}}, \sqrt{48}$). On the other hand, you may also pair up $12 \times 32 = 16 \times 24 = 384$, and then divide by $8$ to get $48$ (the $4$ original numbers are then $2, 4, 6, 8$ or $\sqrt{6}, \sqrt{\frac{32}{3}}, \sqrt{24}, \sqrt{96}$).
