Explain why 7 × 11 × 13 + 13 and 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 5 are composite numbers.
Any positive number, which has more than two factors, is called a composite number.
Since,
7 × 11 × 13 + 13 = 13 × (7 × 11 + 1)
= 13 × 78
= 13 × 13 × 3 × 2
that is, the given number has more than two factors and it is a composite number.
Similarly,
7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 + 5
= 5 × (7 × 6 × 4 × 3 + 1)
= 5 × 505
= 5 × 5 × 101
⇒ The given number is a composite number.
There is a circular path around a sports field. Sonia takes 18 minutes to drive one round of the field, while Ravi takes 12 minutes for the same. Suppose they both start at the same point and at the same time, and go in the same direction. After how many minutes will they meet again at the starting point?
