Is 24 a factor of 2?

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 24 is a factor of 2.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 2 and then seeing if 24 is one of them. The factors of 2 are 1 and 2. Looking at the list, you see that 24 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 24 a factor of 2?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 2 by 24 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 24 is a factor of 2. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 24 is not a factor of 2.

2 divided by 24 is 0.083333333 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 24 a factor of 2?" is no.
