I can only give possible combinations of the ages. This is because only the product is given. Had the sum of all ages been given, possible combinations would boil down into 1 combination.
3 kids with a youngest. This means that the ages are not the same.
We do prime factorization to get the age combination.
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
3 ÷ 3 = 1
1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
Possible combination with no repeating number.
1 x 8 x 9 = 72
2 x 4 x 9 = 72
4 x 6 x 3 = 72
1 x 6 x 12 = 72
