<p>To find factors using multiplication, we need to identify the pairs of numbers that are multiplied to give 24 (ignoring the sign initially). Identifying the numbers which are multiplied to get the number 24 is the multiplication method. Step 1: Multiply 24 by 1, 24 × 1 = 24. Step 2: Check for other numbers that give 24 after multiplying 2 × 12 = 24 3 × 8 = 24 4 × 6 = 24 Therefore, the positive factor pairs of 24 are: (1, 24), (2, 12), (3, 8), and (4, 6). For every positive factor, there is a negative factor.</p>

<p>Dividing the given numbers by the<a>whole numbers</a>until the remainder becomes zero and listing out the numbers which result in whole numbers as factors. Factors can be calculated by following a simple division method - Step 1: Divide 24 by 1, 24 ÷ 1 = 24. Step 2: Continue dividing 24 by the numbers until the remainder becomes 0. 24 ÷ 1 = 24 24 ÷ 2 = 12 24 ÷ 3 = 8 24 ÷ 4 = 6 Therefore, the factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.</p>

<h2>Factor Tree</h2>
17
<p>The factor tree is the graphical representation of breaking down any number into prime factors. The following steps show - Step 1: Firstly, 24 is divided by 2 to get 12. Step 2: Now divide 12 by 2 to get 6. Step 3: Then divide 6 by 2 to get 3. Here, 3 is the smallest prime number that cannot be divided anymore. So, the prime factorization of 24 is: 2^3 × 3. Factor Pairs Two numbers that are multiplied to give a specific number are called factor pairs. Both positive and negative factors constitute factor pairs. Positive factor pairs of 24: (1, 24), (2, 12), (3, 8), and (4, 6). Negative factor pairs of -24: (-1, -24), (-2, -12), (-3, -8), and (-4, -6).</p>
