This may seem like a silly question but it isn't. It isn't 24 hours but 23 hours 56 minutes and 5 seconds to make one full rotation about it's axis. The 3 minutes and 55 seconds difference between the rotation and a 24 hour day is made up for by the fact the earth has moved 1/365 around the sun in a day. If you divide 24 hours by 365 (the number of days in the year) you get the 3 minutes and 55 seconds difference.
