Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4 Turbo]

To solve this, you want to find a number "x" such that when 3 is divided by "x," the result is also a factor of 24. Factors of 24 include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

Here is how you would find such a number:

3 / x = factor of 24

One way to approach this is to divide 24 by factors of itself and check if 3 divided by the result gives us a whole number.

For example, let's take the factor 4 of 24:

24 / 4 = 6

Now check if 3 divided by something equals 6. To find this, you can re-arrange the equation:

3 / x = 6
x = 3 / 6
x = 0.5

Since 0.5 is not a whole number, we should look for another factor.

Let's try another factor of 24, for example, 8:

24 / 8 = 3

Now check if 3 divided by something equals 3:

3 / x = 3
x = 3 / 3
x = 1

Since 1 is a whole number, there you have it:

3 divided by 1 goes into 24.

In this case, if we consider x = 1, which is also a factor of 24, then 3 divided by 1 equals 3, and since 3 is also a factor of 24, it fits the requirements of your query.
