The correct answer is: 3
$24^{k} \rightarrow\left(2^{3} \times 3\right)^{k}$
Exponent of 2 in 13! $\left[\frac{13}{2}\right]+\left[\frac{13}{2^{2}}\right]+\left[\frac{13}{2^{3}}\right]=10$
Exponent of 3 in $13 !$ $\left[\frac{13}{3}\right]+\left[\frac{13}{3^{2}}\right]=5$
So $\left(2^{3} \times 3\right)^{3}$ So $\mathrm{K}=3$
