The expression "2^3 × 3^1 × 5^2" represents a mathematical calculation involving prime factorization. Here, 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers, and the exponents indicate how many times each prime is multiplied by itself. Specifically, 2^3 means 2 is multiplied by itself three times, 3^1 means 3 is used once, and 5^2 means 5 is multiplied by itself twice. To calculate the value, first evaluate each part: 2^3 equals 8, 3^1 equals 3, and 5^2 equals 25. Then, multiply these results together: 8 × 3 × 25. The final result is 600, which is the product of these prime factors.
