    Answer:

      m = 2

      n = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1125 = 9·125 = 3^2 · 5^3

      m = 2

      n = 3

    Additional comment

    Using divisibility rules, you can keep dividing by the obvious factors until the quotient is 1.

      1125/5 = 225

      225/5 = 45

      45/5 = 9

      9/3 = 3

      3/3 = 1 . . . . . . 5 is a factor 3 times; 3 is a factor 2 times.
