How To Find out the Factors of 24
We have to find the factors of number 24. Factors are the numbers which when divided by number 24 we get the factors.
When we make pair of factors the multiplication of pair of factors gives the given number.
Steps to find Factors of 24:
1) Firstly we divide given number 24to get remainder 0.
2) After getting answers all numbers we get are called Factors of given number.
3) 1 is the only number having factor of all numbers.
4) The given number itself is the highest factor of given number.
We find factors of 24:
Here,
We get factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
We know,
A number which has more than two factors is called composite number.
A number 24 has more than two factors.
Hence, 24 is composite number.
Also We know,
A number which is not divided by any other number is called prime number.
In factors of 24 we get 2and 3 are the prime number.
Now we find prime factorization of 24 by using LCM.
Prime factors of 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
Prime factors of 24 = 23 x 3
There are 8 factors of 24 i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
When we make pairs of factors the multiplication of that two factors is the given number itself.
Pairs of factors of 24: 1 x 24, 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6.
Pairs of factors of 24: (1, 24) (2, 12), (3, 8) and (6, 4)
We know Multiplication Property,
a x b = b x a
I.e. Pairs of factors of 24: (24, 1) (12, 2), (8, 3)and (4, 6) is also same.
- All factors of 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
- Prime factor of 24= 23 x 3
- Sum of all factors of 24 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 60
- Pairs of factors of 24: (1, 24) (2, 12), (3, 8) and (6, 4) also (24, 1) (12, 2), (8, 3)and (4, 6)
