A) 26 = 2 x 13
13 and 2 can be found in 25! : 25 x 24 x 23 22 x . . . x 13 x . . . x 3 x 2 x 1
Therefore 26 is a factor of 25!
B) 28 = 2 x 2 x 7
2, 2 and 7 can be found in 25!: 25 x 24 x 23 22 x . . . x 7 x . . .x (2)(2) x 3 x 2 x 1
Therefore 28 is a factor of 25!
etc, etc, etc
E) 59 = 2 x 29.
Since 29 cannot be found anywhere in 25!, 58 cannot be a divisor of 25!
So, the answer is E
