True/False

A manufacturing data analyst is configuring a script that multiplies a component's dimensional coefficient, modeled as (25a4b3)\left(\frac{2}{5}a^4b^3\right), by an expansion factor of (15ab3)(15ab^3). To simplify this calculation correctly, the analyst must multiply the numerical coefficients, 25\frac{2}{5} and 15, to get 6, and then multiply the exponents of the matching variables to yield a41a^{4 \cdot 1} and b33b^{3 \cdot 3}.
