One Martian, one Venusian and one Human reside on Pluto.
One day they make the following conversation:
Martian: I have spent 1/12 of my life in Pluto.
Human: I also have.
Venusian: Me too.
Martian: But Venusian and I have spent much more time here than you, Human.
Human: However Venusian and I are of the same age.
Venusian: I have lived 300 Earth years.
Martian: Venusian and I have been on Pluto for the last 13 years.

It is known that Human and Martian together have lived for 104 Earth years.

Find their respective ages.

HINT: The numbers are not necessarily expressed in base 10 .
