Does the series n=1(5n)3n(5n+3)n converge or diverge?

See below.

Explanation:

Considering

an=(5n)3n(5n+3)n

we have

an<(5n)3n(5n)n

now we will compare an with 1n2 that we know to converge.

Taking ln

lnan<(3n)ln(5+lnn)n2ln5 and as we can easily verify exists a n0 such that n>n0lnan<ln(1n2)

As we know, ln is a strictly increasing function so considering n>n0

lnan<ln(1n2)an<1n2

hence the series

n=1(5n)3n(5n+3)n

converges.
