He wants to divide 24 eggs into equal groups. This can be done like this: 24 = 12 * 2 ( or 2 groups of 12 eggs ), 24 = 8 * 3, 24 = 6 * 4, 24 = 4 * 6, 24 = 2 * 12 ( or 12 groups of 2 eggs ). 24 = 24 * 1 is not possible, because then you have only one group of eggs ( you are not dividing them ). The possible numbers of eggs are: B ) 2, 4, 6, 8, 12.
