The Number 24

Problem:

Obtain the number 24 using only the numbers 1, 3, 4 and 6, arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and parentheses. Each number can only be used once. Operations and parentheses can be used as many times as you want. It is not allowed to combine numbers (e.g. use 1 and 3 to get 13).
