Introduction
John‘s uncle gave him 24 muffins to distribute among his friends. This means john has 24 ÷ 1 = 24 muffins.
He wants to equally distribute it among 6 children. How will he do that?
24 ÷ 6 = 4 i.e 24 = 6 x 4
Now what if 2 more children come to his place?
How will he distribute the same number of muffins among 8 children?
24 ÷ 8 = 3 i.e 24 = 8 x 3
Suppose 4 more children visit his place at the same time. Can he distribute 24 muffins equally among all children?
Yes, he can!!! 24 ÷ 12 = 2 i.e 24 = 12 x 2
From this calculation we can see that 24 can be written as a product of two numbers in different ways as
24 = 6 × 4; 24 = 8 × 3; 24 = 12 × 2;
This means 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 are exact divisor of 24. They are known as factors of 24.
