The greatest prime number less than 72 is 71 and when 71 is divided by 6 , the remainder is 5 .
Therefore, Column $\(\mathrm{A}=5\)$. The least prime number greater than 72 is 73 and when it is divided by 7 , the remainder is 1 .
Therefore, Column $\(\mathrm{B}=1\)$.
Hence, Column A > Column B.
Thus, the correct answer is $\(A\)$.
Therefore, Column $\(\mathrm{A}=5\)$. The least prime number greater than 72 is 73 and when it is divided by 7 , the remainder is 1 .
Therefore, Column $\(\mathrm{B}=1\)$.
Hence, Column A > Column B.
Thus, the correct answer is $\(A\)$.
