Countdown

This is based on a TV programme shown by BBC and French TV.
You are given a set of numbers and you are required to arrive at a particular result using those numbers and the the usual mathematical signs relating to addition,subtraction,multiplication and division.Although the TV programmes had provided a small time period for working out the solution,I am not suggesting any period.Two examples below for you to try.
1) Numbers 6,1,25,8,5,8---result required 640
2) Numbers 4,7,9,25,6,4....result required 758
Except where there is already a repetition like 8 in example 1 and 4 in example 2,no repetition of numbers are allowed.
