This is a problem in Diophantine analysis. We must find a solution in whole numbers, presumably from 13 to 19.
First, prime factor 705600.
705600 = 2^6 3^2 5^2 7^2
With the 7 and the 5, there is only 1 choice available.
7 * 2 = 14
5 * 3 = 15
Rewrite, taking out the factors we have used.
705600 = 2^4 * 14^2 * 15^2
All that's left is the 2^4 =16
705600 = 16 * 14^2 * 15^2
The 5 teenagers are ages 14, 14, 15, 15, and 16.
14 * 14 * 15 * 15 * 16 = 705600
The sum of their ages is
14 + 14 + 15 + 15 + 16 = 74The product of ages of a group of teenagers is 705600. find number of teenagers in group n sum of their ages??
Is that the full question... Can you give me more detail...
