Question 564186: How old are the twins, when the product of their age and their older brother is 3332?

3332 = 2^2 * 7^2 * 17. Since we assume twins have the same age, they can either both be 7 or both be 2 or both be 14 (years old). However if we assume they are 7 or 2, the older brother would have an unreasonably high age so the twins should be 14 years old (and the older brother 17). 14*14*17 = 3332.
