In order to factor this expression, you must find the greatest common factor between 24 and 18. This number is 6. 
6(4-3y)
Extracting 6 will give you the expression above. There is no way to factor further, so this is the answer.
To check and see if you are right, distribute the 6 and you will get the original expression (24-18y).
