I tried to made this question for my clear understanding. Here Tom picked few red balls and few blues balls. A number on red and blue balls are 7 and 3 (prime numbers), respectively.
Tom got = 441 = 9*49 = 3*3*7*7. It means tom picked total four balls, two of 3's and two of 7's.
Correct me if I made any mistake while solving this problem.
