    72/3 is 24 and each children can be 24. There are many answers. I would not choose the 24 years old as the answer. instead, I would say one children is 3 another is 3 too and the last one is 12.

    There are a lot of combinations that will result to a product of 72. First, let us perform prime factorization on 72.

    72 : 2 = 36

    36 : 2 = 18

    18 : 2 = 9

    9 : 3 = 3

    3 : 3 = 1

    1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

    Age combinations:

    1 x 8 x 9 = 72

    2 x 4 x 9 = 72

    2 x 6 x 6 = 72

    3 x 4 x 6 = 72
