Question

What do 16 and 24 have in common​

Answer 1

Answer:

  both are positive even composite integers with a common factor of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both are positive even composite integers with a common factor of 8. They are solutions to the quadratic equation (x-16)(x-24) = 0. Their cube roots (or any root of index greater than 2) are irrational. They are divisors of 48.

There are also many things that both numbers are not. They are not the lengths of sides of a right triangle with integer side lengths. They are not negative or irrational. They are not triangle numbers or elements of the Fibonacci sequence.
