Let’s solve this step by step.
We need to find all the
factors of each number from 1 to 24.
A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly — no remainder.
Also, we’re told:
> Numbers that have exactly 2 factors (1 and themselves) are called
prime numbers.
We’ll highlight those at the end.

Let’s go one number at a time:
Number 7:
What multiplies to make 7? Only 1 × 7 → Factors:
1, 7
Number 8:
1 × 8 = 8
2 × 4 = 8
→ Factors:
1, 2, 4, 8
Number 9:
1 × 9 = 9
3 × 3 = 9
→ Factors:
1, 3, 9
Number 10:
1 × 10 = 10
2 × 5 = 10
→ Factors:
1, 2, 5, 10
Number 11:
Only 1 × 11 → Factors:
1, 11
Number 12:
1 × 12
2 × 6
3 × 4
→ Factors:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Now the right column:
Number 13:
Only 1 × 13 → Factors:
1, 13
Number 14:
1 × 14
2 × 7
→ Factors:
1, 2, 7, 14
Number 15:
1 × 15
3 × 5
→ Factors:
1, 3, 5, 15
Number 16:
1 × 16
2 × 8
4 × 4
→ Factors:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Number 17:
Only 1 × 17 → Factors:
1, 17
Number 18:
1 × 18
2 × 9
3 × 6
→ Factors:
1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Number 19:
Only 1 × 19 → Factors:
1, 19
Number 20:
1 × 20
2 × 10
4 × 5
→ Factors:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
Number 21:
1 × 21
3 × 7
→ Factors:
1, 3, 7, 21
Number 22:
1 × 22
2 × 11
→ Factors:
1, 2, 11, 22
Number 23:
Only 1 × 23 → Factors:
1, 23
Number 24:
1 × 24
2 × 12
3 × 8
4 × 6
→ Factors:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Now, let’s list which numbers have
exactly 2 factors — these are the
prime numbers:
From 1 to 24:
- 2 → factors: 1,2 →
✔ prime
- 3 → 1,3 →
✔ prime
- 5 → 1,5 →
✔ prime
- 7 → 1,7 →
✔ prime
- 11 → 1,11 →
✔ prime
- 13 → 1,13 →
✔ prime
- 17 → 1,17 →
✔ prime
- 19 → 1,19 →
✔ prime
- 23 → 1,23 →
✔ prime
Note: 1 has only 1 factor → NOT prime.
So primes between 1 and 24:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23
