Answer:

The other factors is, 8

Explanation:

Factor states that a number which can be multiplied or divide to produce a given number.

As per the given condition: One of my factors is equal to 5-2. I am the product 24.

Let x and y are the numbers.

One of my product (x) = 5 -2 = 3

I am the product of 24;


xy =24

Substitute the value of x = 3 we get;


3y =24

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

y = 8

Therefore, the other factors is, 8.

Check:

xy = 24


8 \cdot 3 = 24

24 =24 True.
