This all depends on what operators and notations are accepted and
without specifying that, the whole question is useless.
What about without any ones at all: (With C++ operators)
((0++)++)*(((((0++)++)++)++)++)
or without any numbers: (With normal algebra)
((a/a)+(a/a))*((a/a)+(a/a)+(a/a)+(a/a)+(a/a)), a [belongs to] N
