You're right, Jim, the OP could reduce his solution space by
disregarding the numbers greater than his "target" number. In an
accounting environment, however, debits and credits (positive as well
as negative) may need to be considered- the negative numbers may react
with the positive larger numbers to arrive at the correct solution.
