Factors of 24: How to find factors of 24?

Factors of 24

A factor of a number is any number that can divide it evenly (without any remainder).

For example, factors of 24 are the numbers that divide 24 completely without any remainder.

Finding Factors of 24

To find the factors of 24, we check which numbers can divide 24 evenly:

- 1 × 24 = 24
- 2 × 12 = 24
- 3 × 8 = 24
- 4 × 6 = 24

So, the factors of 24 are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24

These are the only numbers that can divide 24 without leaving a remainder.
