Manhattan Chapter 13 question 28, page 451

Hi,

Could someone please explain why the answer to the following question cannot be 12. I understand why it is 6 but the question asks for the largest factors of n which I believed could be 12.

Q: If n is an integer and n3 is divisible by 24, what is the largest number that must be factor of n?
a) 1 b) 2 c) 6 d) 8 e) 12

Answer: c
