What are Divisors of 24
A number n is called a divisor of 24 if the fraction $\dfrac{24}{n}$ is an integer. Note that if 24/n=m is an integer, then both m and n will be the divisors of 24.
To find the divisors of 24, we need to find the numbers n such that 24/n becomes an integer. We have:
| 24/1=24 | 1, 24 are divisors of 24. |
| 24/2=12 | 2, 12 are divisors of 24 |
| 24/3=8 | 3, 8 are divisors of 24 |
| 24/4=6 | 4, 6 are divisors of 24 |
No numbers other than 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 can divide 24. So we conclude that
|
The divisors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. |
Thus, the total number of divisors of 24 is eight.
Negative Divisors of 24
We know that if m is a divisor of a number, then -m is also a divisor of that number.
As the divisors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, we can say that:
The negative divisors of 24 are -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, and –24.
Prime Divisors of 24
The divisors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. Among these numbers, only 2 and 3 are prime numbers. So we obtain that:
The prime divisors of 24 are 2 and 3.
