  1. 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 x 11 x 13 + 13 = 13 x (7 x 11 + 1) = 13 x (77 + 1)
    = 13 x 78
    = 13 x 13 x 6
    The given expression has 6 and 13 as its factors. Therefore, it is a composite number.
    7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 5 = 5 x (7 x 6 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 + 1)
    = 5 x (1008 + 1)
    = 5 x 1009
    1009 cannot be factorised further. Therefore, the given expression has 5 and 1009 as its factors. Hence, it isa composite number.
