(N/A) The binary operation $\wedge$ on the set $S = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ is defined as $a \wedge b = \min\{a, b\}$ for all $a, b \in S$.
To construct the operation table,we calculate $a \wedge b$ for every pair $(a, b)$ where $a, b \in \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$. The value in each cell is the minimum of the corresponding row and column headers.
$\wedge$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$
$1$ $1$ $1$ $1$ $1$ $1$
$2$ $1$ $2$ $2$ $2$ $2$
$3$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $3$ $3$
$4$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $4$
$5$ $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$
