  1. Find the number of prime factors in 307 × 225 × 3412 × 125.
    1. 70
    2. 65
    3. 69
    4. 29
Correct Option: A

We break each base number into prime factors.
Now, 307= (2 × 3 × 5)7= 27 × 37 × 57
225 = (2 × 11)5 = 25 × 115
3412 = (2 × 17)12 = 212 × 1712
125 = (3 × 2 × 2)5 = 35 × 25 × 25
∴  307 × 22 × 3412 × 125 = 27 × 37 × 57 × 25 × 115 × 212 × 1712 × 35 × 25 × 25
= 27+5+12+5+5 × 37+5 × 57 × 115 × 1712
= 234 × 312 × 57 × 115 × 1712
∴  The required number of prime factors
= 34 + 12 + 7 + 5 + 12 = 70
