Question

The number of factors of 24 is .

• A. 6
• B. 4
• C. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

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

Factors of $24$ are $1,2,3,4,6,8,12and24$

Number of factors $=8$
$or$
$24=2\times 12=2\times 12=2\times 2\times 6=2\times 2\times 2\times 3=2^3\times 3^1$

$\therefore$ Number of factors $=(3+1)(1+1)=4\times 2=8$
