First group the coefficients and variables.

(4ab)(5a2b3) = ( 4 · 5) (a · b · a2 · b3)
\= ( 4 · 5) (a · a2) (b · b3) (Commutative property of multiplication: a × b = b × a)
\= ( 20) (a · a2) (b · b3) (Multiply: 4 × 5 = 20)
Since base is common, apply the product of powers property: am · an = am + n.
\= ( 20) (a1+ 2 ) (b1 + 3)
\= ( 20) (a3 ) (b4) (Add exponents: 1 + 2 = 3 and 3 + 4 = 7)
\= 20a3b4 \ \
Product of Product of (4ab)(5a2b3) is 20a3b4.
