Time for the answer

The answer to riddle is 24 = 2* 3* 4

How did u find it?

Write down all the numbers between 12 and 40 that are:
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 , 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

Now Clue 1 says it does not have 5 or 7 as the factor, so cancel out all numbers that have 5 or 7 as factor. we are left with:
13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39

Now, Clue 2: One of the factors is 4. Pick numbers with factor as 4.

16, 24, 36

Now out of these:
16 = 4 * 4
24 = 2 * 3 * 4
36 = 6 * 6

So, the answer is 24
