I get it's an idle game, but it just seems way too slow. With how quickly the price increases the only useful operator is multiply. The game is also way too RNG dependent, partly due to the reasons stated earlier, but also because some things are just not useful. (I don't need 10 equals) Perhaps if you had more control over what you received, even if it was just a choice between number or sign, it could mitigate the RNG.

Had to restart multiple times but ended up getting a little lucky.

I love idle games so instantly thumbs up. 
Im slightly sad that the goal is to get an exact number. I get it, but personally I would rather an endless game. 

Took me a couple tries thanks to RNG, but eventually I got a 18*20*17*15

I like the concept, but it quickly becomes almost impossible to make progress. Maybe I misunderstood something.
I don't see how the "divide" actions could be useful, and I was generating at most 200/sec while the prices were around 50,000.

Cool idea, very satisfying :) I didn't manage to get a super high score because I got a lot of division/equal symbols
