Here 500 =\(5^3 * 2^4\)

No. of prime factors = 2

360 = \(2^3 * 3^2 * 5\)

No. of prime factors = 3

Hence B > A

break em down!

500=
2*250
4*125
5*100
10*50
20*25

2 and 5 are the prime factors

360=
2*180
3*120
4*90
5*72

and there we have it 2,3,5 are more prime factors than 2 and 5.

the answer is B
