My son [age 9, 4th grade] has a math problem with factors. I need to know how to do the problem that involves the factor 24. I'm not even sure where to start.

ThankYou

Hi Pam,

Factors of the number 24 are numbers which, when multiplied together, give 24. Hence 4 and 6 are factors of 24 since 4x6 = 24. Likewise 1 and 24 are factors of 24. If the question is to list all the factors of 24 then you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
