Let's set up some equations.
Our first number is going to be \(a\) and the other will be \(b\).

\(4\times a=b\)

\(b-a=24\)

We can substitute \(b\) for \(4\times a\) in the second equation to end up with

\(4\times a-a=24\)

\(4a\) minus \(a\) is going to be \(3a\).

\(3a=24\)

\(\boxed{a=8}\)

And since \(a=8\), \(b=4\times a=4\times 8=\boxed{32}\)
