Answer:

no; 12

Explanation:

A number divisible by 4 and 6 will be divisible by their least common multiple, 12. If it is an odd multiple of 12, it will not be divisible by 24.

Examples:

12÷4 = 3; 12÷6 = 2; 12 is not divisible by 24

24÷4 = 6; 24÷6 = 4; 24 is divisible by 24

36÷4 = 9; 36÷6 = 6; 36 is not divisible by 24
