Can you find whole numbers pair which differ by 35 and their product is 2244?
Find a factorization of 2244 so that the two factors differ by 35.

One of the factorizations is 33%2A68=2244
Each of these factors is 8 more than the two given numbers of 60 and 25.

In 8 more years, the man and the son will have their ages the product 2244.
