6. Explain why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 and 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 are composite numbers.

6. Explain why the following numbers are composite:

(i) 7 × 11 × 13 + 13

= 13 (7 × 11 + 1)

= 13 × 78

Since it has factors other than 1 and itself, it is a composite number.


(ii) 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5

= 5 (7 × 6 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 1)

Since it is divisible by 5, it has factors other than 1 and itself.

Hence, the given number is a composite number.
