Doubly Perfect

SPOTTED the following serial number on a Central Line carriage: 91243.
As usual, each number should be used once, and once only, and must be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided to make a balanced equation.
There are at least two perfect solutions, ie ones that uses the numbers in the order they appear.
