Photo needs printed large for funeral

[misstea]

Hello all. My photography teacher, mentor and friend Tom, has died. His family wants to use a photo I took at his service. The only file we can find on his computer, my computer or our emails is small. Here are the dimensions: 480x672 pixels (5x7inches) 96 ppi

His family wants to blow this up to a 16x20 inch or 24x36 inch. Tom was a master printer as well as photographer and we do not want to do him wrong. Unfortunately, this is a question I would normally ask him. 

I read your articles on this and I just want to make sure this can be printed large. It's razor sharp and in focus. I'll attach the photo so you can see. 

Thank you!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

No it can't, sorry.  It's WAY too small.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I will let them know.

Did you read this one?

[misstea]

Yes, I did. So I'm looking at about 3.2 megapixels correct? And that's way too small for a large print... Would it still print at an 8x10 size? 

Thanks

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 0.32 megapixels.  Less than half of a megapixel.

No, you're missing a decimal place.  This is 0.32 megapixels.   (Mega = million.)  You're barely even on the curve in the graph at the bottom of Damien's article, I'm afraid.

Oh. Well you can imagine my math grades in highschool and college...  Too bad he never taught me printing. 

Ill tell them it's a no-go on this photo.

Thanks for your help.
