Hello Jim,
Start by picking any two positive integers which multiply to 98,
(other than 1 * 98)
say, 2 * 49.
2 is prime, but 49 can still be broken down into 7 * 7.
7 is prime, so your final answer is
2 * 7 * 7, or 2 * 72.
You could have also started by breaking down 98
as 7 * 14. 7 is prime, but 14 isn't, so break down 14 as 2 * 7,
which gets you to the same result:
2 * 7 * 7.
Hope the above helps, and thank you for posting the question.
