A woman had seven children. On multiplying their ages together, one can obtain the number 6591. Given that today is the birthday of all seven children, how many triplets are there and what are all the seven ages?
:
Prime factor:
3 * 13 * 13 * 13 = 6591
:
How about two sets of triplets, ages 1, and ages 13, one child age 3?
for ages, 1 * 1 * 1 * 3 * 13 * 13 * 13 = 6591
