Answer 1

To find is 12 is a factor of 24, we need to factorate the number 24.

First let's divide it by 2:

`(24)/(2)=12`

The result is 12. That means we can have the number 24 multiplying 12 by 2.

So 12 is a factor of 24, because we can have the number 24 multiplying 12 by another number.

Therefore Ben is correct.
