Explanation:

To find: the smallest NON-prime positive integer that is NOT a factor of 12!

Since all the number before 12 would be divisible by 12!,

on further checking, next number:
13 (Prime- Not Applicable)
14 (Non-Prime but divisible by 12!)

We'll notice the list will go on till 25 (5*5) - time consuming approach.

Best approach:
Our nearest prime number is 13, to make it non-prime, we should multiply with 2 making it non-prime.
So 13*2 = 26 which becomes our answer.
Option E
