Let’s resolve into factors
(x + 1) (x + 3) (x-4) (x-6) + 24
= (x + 1)(x-4)(x + 3)(x-6) + 24
= (x2-4x + x-4)(x2–6x + 3x-18) + 24
= (x2-3x-4)(x2–3x-18) + 24
Let x2 – 3x = a
= (a-4)(a-18) + 24
= a2-18a-4a + 72 + 24
= a2-22a + 96
= a2-16a-6a + 96
= a(a-16)-6(a-16)
= (a-6)(a-16)
Putting back the values of a we get,
= (x2 – 3x -6)( x2 – 3x -16)
