How can you write 24 as the product of two natural numbers?

1 and 24, 2 and 12, 3 and 8, 4 and 6

Practice makes perfect
The factors of a number are any natural numbers we can multiply to get that number. Let's write 24 as the product of two numbers in as many ways as possible.
24 Written as a Product of Two Numbers Factors
1 * 24=24 1 and 24
2 * 12=24 2 and 12
3 * 8=24 3 and 8
4 * 6=24 4 and 6

We found that 24 has 4 pairs of factors.
