Least prime factor being 3 or 5 means that 2 is not a factor. So the numbers are both odd. Odd + odd = even for sure. So for a+b we have 2 as a prime factor.

Odd + odd = even for sure. So for a+b we have 2 as a prime factor.
Since 2 is the smallest prime, answer is 2.
Here is your answer
Positive integers = a and b
Least prime factor of a = 3
Least prime factor of b = 5
Least prime factor of a+b = Odd+Odd =Even =2
