If X=28+(1X2X3X4.......X16X28) AND Y=17+(1X2X3....X17) then show that X-Y is a composite number

Expert Answer:
X - Y = [28+(1X2X3X4.......X16X28)] - [17+(1X2X3....X17)]
= (28-17) + (1x2x3x4.....x16) (28 - 17)
= 11 + (1x2x3x4.....x16) 11
= 11[1 + (1x2x3x4.....x16)]
Hence, X-Y is a composite number.
