To find the factors of a number we must find all the numbers that divide 24, two numbers are always easy, 1 and the number itself! But how do we find the others? We start at 1 and divide the number (here it's 24) by all the possible numbers until we reach the number we are finding the factor, it the division is an integer number, then it's a factor!
Another thing may help us! if we divide a number, for example, 24 by 2, the result is 12. Then 2 is a factor of 24 but 12 is also a factor of 24! Then when we find one factor, in fact, we have 2 factors. Now let's apply it to our problem:
As we can see, just by 3 divisors we found all the factors of 24! They are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Final answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
