No, 11^2 x 5^4 is not a factor of 11^3 x 5^4.

To see this, you can divide 11^3 x 5^4 by 11^2 x 5^4 and see that there is a remainder.

11^3 x 5^4 = (11 x 11 x 11) x (5 x 5 x 5 x 5)

= 121 x 625

= 75125

11^2 x 5^4 = (11 x 11) x (5 x 5 x 5 x 5)

= 121 x 625

= 75125

75125 / 75125 = 1 with a remainder of 0.

Therefore, 11^2 x 5^4 is not a factor of 11^3 x 5^4.
