We know that if a matrix is of the order m x n, it has mn elements. Thus, to find all the possible orders of a matrix having 24 elements, we have to find all the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 24. The ordered pairs are: (1, 24), (24, 1), (2, 12), (12, 2), (3, 8), (8, 3), (4, 6), and (6, 4)
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 24 elements are: 1 x 24, 24 x 1, 2 x 12, 12 x 2, 3 x 8, 8 x 3, 4 x 6, and 6 x 4
(1, 13) and (13, 1) are the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 13. Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 13 elements are 1 x 13 and 13 x 1.
