How many maximum times can (2^5 \times 3^3 \times 5) be completely divided by (18)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
Step 1: (18=2 \times 3^2). Step 2: (2^5) can supply (2) five times, but (3^3) can supply (3^2) only once. So the answer is (1). Step 3: For a composite divisor, the most limiting prime exponent decides the answer.
