So, n is prime saturated if the largest prime factor of n < √n.
If we square both sides of the inequality, we get: n is prime saturated if (the largest prime factor of n)² < n
A. 6 = (2)(3) ---> 3² > 6 n is NOT PRIME SATURATED
B. 35 = (5)(7) ---> 7² > 35 n is NOT PRIME SATURATED
C. 46 = (2)(23) ---> 23² > 46 n is NOT PRIME SATURATED
D. 66 = (2)(3)(11) ---> 11² > 66 n is NOT PRIME SATURATED
E. 75 = (3)(5)(5) ---> 5² < 75 n IS PRIME SATURATED
Answer: E
