What are all the multiplication problems that equal 24?

Answer 1

It is not possible to answer the question since there are infinitely many possible answers.

Let X by any positive number less than sqrt(24) and let Y = 24/X

then X*Y = X*(24/X) = 24

There are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and sqrt(24) and X could be any one of them. Each of these infinitely many values of X generates a value for Y and (X, Y) as a possible solution.

Then there are sets of 3 numbers that can be multiplied to give 24, 4 numbers, 5 number, ... , infinitely many numbers.

Answer 2

That's an infinite list unless you restrict it to factor pairs.

24 x 1

12 x 2

8 x 3

6 x 4
