What single digit numbers besides 1 divide evenly into both 24 and 96? List your responses in order from the lowest to highest number .
To find the single digit numbers that divide evenly into both 24 and 96, we need to check all the numbers from 2 to 9 (since 1 is not included in the given question). Let's go through each number one by one:
2: We divide 24 by 2, and we get 12. When we divide 96 by 2, we get 48. So, both 24 and 96 are divisible by 2.
3: If we divide 24 by 3, we get 8 (with a remainder). But if we divide 96 by 3, we get 32 (no remainder). So, 3 does not divide evenly into both 24 and 96.
4: When we divide 24 by 4, we get 6 (with no remainder). Similarly, dividing 96 by 4 gives us 24. Thus, both 24 and 96 are divisible by 4.
5: Neither 24 nor 96 are divisible by 5, so 5 does not divide evenly into both numbers.
6: We have already established that 24 is divisible by 2 and 4. Dividing 96 by 6 yields 16 (no remainder). Therefore, both 24 and 96 are divisible by 6.
7: Both 24 and 96 are not divisible by 7, so 7 does not divide evenly into either number.
8: While 24 is not divisible by 8, 96 is divisible by 8 since dividing it by 8 gives us 12 (with no remainder).
9: Neither 24 nor 96 are divisible by 9, so 9 does not divide evenly into either number.
Therefore, the single digit numbers that divide evenly into both 24 and 96 are 2, 4, 6, and 8. Listing them in ascending order, we have: 2, 4, 6, 8.
