Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.

This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3

Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3    OR 2³ x 3²

3 ages.

eldest      = 3³ = 9
middle     = 2² = 4
youngest  = 2¹ = 2

2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
