It's been a few years since I had an electronics course, so I need help
with a relatively easy question.

I need to reduce 24 volts DC to 5 volts DC. I think it's just a matter
of a couple resistors but am unsure. The amperage is relatively low
(not sure exactly).

Can anyone help? Details would be much appreciated.
Look up a voltage divider circuit. It is made with a couple of
resistors
