list1 = Table[24 + (15*n1), {n1, 2000}];

Take[Select[list1/24, IntegerQ], 9]

{6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46}

Take[Select[list1, IntegerQ[#/24] &], 9]

{144, 264, 384, 504, 624, 744, 864, 984, 1104}

Apparently you want list2 to consist of the members of list1 that are
integer multiples of 24 rather than the integers in list1/24.

list2 = Select[list1, IntegerQ[#/24] &];

list3 = n2 /. Solve[
       {12 + (3*n2) == #, Element[n2, Integers]},
       n2][[1]] & /@ list2;

Length[list2] == Length[list3]

True

Consequently, there is an integer n2 for every element of list2.
