The question asks whether p is a prime number.

Per statement 1, p is a factor of 13 and as such there are only 2 possible values of p = 1 or 13. But as it is given than p>1, p=13 is the only allowed value. Sufficient

Per statement 2, p is a factor of 78, thus p = 2 or 6 or 13 and you end up getting primes = 2 or 3 but also non primes = 6 or 78. Hence not sufficient.
