Question

Choose the factors of 24 from the following.

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 6
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6

Factors are the numbers which are exact divisors of a given number.

We will start from 1 and move to higher factors of 24.

$24=1\times 24$
$24=2\times 12$
$24=3\times 8$
$24=4\times 6$

We should stop here because the factor starts repeating itself.

$\therefore$ The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
