tion-6 Explain why 7* 11 13. 13 and 7*6*5*4*3*2*1.5 are composite numbers,
that​

Answer 1

By definition,

A composite number is a positive integer that has a factor other than 1 and itself. Now considering your numbers,

7×11×13+13 may be written as, 13 * [(7 * 11) + 1]13∗[(7∗11)+1] i.e. 13 * (78). So other than 1 and the number itself, 13 and 78 are also the factors of the number. Further, 78= 39 x 2. So, 39 and 2 are also it's factors. So this number is definitely not prime. Hence its composite number.

Similarly, 7×6×5×4×3×2×1+5 can be written as 5*[(7*6*4*3*2*1) + 1]5∗[(7∗6∗4∗3∗2∗1)+1] , i.e. 5 * (1009). So, other than the number and 1, it have 5 and 1009 as it's factors too. So it is also a composite number.
