A factor of 24 is a number that can be multilied by another number (normally whole (not fraction or decimal) numbers) so a factor must be less than the number any multiple of 2 greater than 24 will work so just any even number greater than 24 exg 26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58,60, and so on.
When you rewrite an expression, we are simplifying it. We first use the distributive property through any groupings symbols, then evaluate terms we exponent that are given. Lastly, we combine any like terms, weather they are constants or variables.
