Question 1073857: Hi Guys
I'm stuck on that one . can you please help
a coach multiplies the ages of all players in his high school sports team and this comes to 6920550. using your knowledge of prime factorisation, find out how many players are in this team and how many of each age.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
So the assumption is that high school kids are probably between 13 and 19, somewhere in that range.
Just start dividing,
6920550%2F13=532350
532350%2F13=40950
40950%2F13=3150
3150 is not divisible by 13.
3150%2F14=225
And you know that 15%5E2=225
So three 13 year olds, one 14 year old and two 15 year olds.
