\(478+477!+476!=478+476!(477+1)=478+478*476!=478(1+476!)\)
Now, 476! is product of all numbers till 476, so when we add 1 to 476!, the number is not divisible by all numbers till 476.
So 478(1+476!) will not be divisible by any number till 476 except the factors of 478 that are 2 and 239.
I. \(239\).....478=2*239, so the number is divisible by 239
II. \(10+9\)=19.....19 is not a factor of 478 and is less than 476. Thus it will leave a remainder
III. \(5!-90\)=120-90=30.... .19 is not a factor of 478 and is less than 476. Thus it will leave a remainder
II and III

Hey, thank you for the explanation! Why is 1+476! not divisible by any number equal to or less than 476?
I can see how 476! will have a few tailing 0's. And adding a 1 to this makes it an odd number, and can be a prime too. But not sure how to prove the above statement.
