This problem will concentrate on the mathematical fact that all numbers in our real number system are the product of prime numbers. This fact alone is amazing.

b. By name and age, prime factor your age and then the other two persons’ ages. Please show your work listed by name and age. Make sure your work is clear and concise.
c. Find the LCM and the GCF for the set of ages. Again, be clear and concise.
d. Explain in your own words, what your calculated LCM and GCF mean for the ages you selected. Be specific to the numbers; do not just give generic definitions.
