If \(n=15!+13\), which of the following is a divisor of \(n\)?

A. 15
B. 14
C. 13
D. 7
E. 2


\(n=15! + 13 = 1*2*3*...12*13*14*15+13\). Since 13 is a factor of both \(15!\) and the additional 13 in the expression, we can conclude that 13 is a divisor of \(n\). In other words, we can factor out 13 from the expression to get \(n=13*(1*2*3*...12*14*15+1)\), hence 13 is definitely a divisor of \(n\).
