Explain: Why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 and 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 are composite numbers.
We can see that both the numbers have common factor 7 and 1.
7 × 11 × 13 + 13 = (77 + 1) × 13
= 78 × 13
7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 = (7 × 6 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) × 2
= 1008 × 5
And we know that composite numbers are those numbers which have at least one more factor other than 1.
Hence after simplification we see that both numbers are even and therefore the given two numbers are composite numbers.
