To find the product of $$ 5 	imes 1 \frac{3}{20} $$ and express it in the lowest terms, follow these steps:

1. **Convert the Mixed Number to an Improper Fraction:**
   
   $$ 1 \frac{3}{20} = \frac{20 	imes 1 + 3}{20} = \frac{23}{20} $$

2. **Multiply by 5:**
   
   $$ 5 	imes \frac{23}{20} = \frac{5 	imes 23}{20} = \frac{115}{20} $$

3. **Simplify the Fraction:**
   
   Divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5:
   
   $$ \frac{115 \div 5}{20 \div 5} = \frac{23}{4} $$

4. **Convert Back to a Mixed Number (Optional):**
   
   $$ \frac{23}{4} = 5 \frac{3}{4} $$

**Final Answer:**

$$ 5 	imes 1 \frac{3}{20} = 5\,\frac{3}{4} $$
$$ 5 	imes 1 \frac{3}{20} = 5\,\frac{3}{4} $$
