1. **State the problem:** Fully factorise the expression $6x + 18y + 24z$.
2. **Identify the greatest common factor (GCF):** Look for the largest number that divides all coefficients 6, 18, and 24.
3. The GCF of 6, 18, and 24 is $6$ because:
$$6 = 6 \times 1$$
$$18 = 6 \times 3$$
$$24 = 6 \times 4$$
4. **Factor out the GCF:**
$$6x + 18y + 24z = 6(x) + 6(3y) + 6(4z)$$
5. Use the distributive property to factor out 6:
$$= 6(x + 3y + 4z)$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{6(x + 3y + 4z)}$$
This is the fully factorised form because the expression inside the parentheses has no common factors.
