You are right ps_dahiya
I meant to type >47 greater than 47 and in fact greater than 50.
I agree.

I don't quite understand the solution presented. Can either of you please elaborate.

Thanks,

RBCOLA

h(100) = (2*4*6*....100) = ((2*1)*(2*2)*(2*3)*(2*4).......(2*50))
= (2*2....50 times) * (1*2*3*4.....50)
= 2^50 * (50!)

So h(100) is divisible by all numbers between 1 and 50.
So h(100)+1 will not be divisible by any number between 1 and 50.

Take an example

say 120+1
120 is product of 1, 2,3,4,5. So 121 will not be divisible by 1,2,3,4,5.

Hope this helps.
