Question
Explain why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 and 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 are composite numbers.
✓
Answer
Numbers are of two types - prime and composite.
Prime numbers can be divided by 1 and only itself, whereas composite numbers have factors other than 1 and itself.
It can be observed that
7 × 11 × 13 + 13 = 13 × (7 × 11 + 1)
= 13 × (77 + 1)= 13 × 78= 13 ×13 × 6
The given expression has 6 and 13 as its factors.
Therefore, it is a composite number.
7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5
= 5 ×(7 × 6 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 1)
= 5 × (1008 + 1)= 5 ×1009
1009 cannot be factorized further
Therefore, the given expression has 5 and 1009 as its factors.
Hence, it is a composite number.
