11!(12.11!+10!) and it can be written as 11K therefore the greatest prime factor is 11.

Please spot the error in my thinking in solving this problem. I know it is an error because my answer is not any of the choices listed.

12!11! + 11!10!
12(11!)11(10!) + 11!10!
12*11*(11!10!) + 11!10!
121(11!10!) + 11!10!
122(11!10!)

122 can be factored into the primes 2 and 61, making my incorrect answer 61.

My take is

12! 11! + 11! 10!

= 11! 10! (12 ×11 + 1)

= 11! 10! × 133

= 11! 10! × 7 × 19

[spoiler]19[/spoiler] is the greatest prime factor.

I mistook 12 * 11 = 121 instead of 132. Thank you for your post.

132 + 1 = 133, which gives your answer.

12!11! = 132*11!10!
11!10!(132+1) = 11!10!*133, where 133=7*19 --> 11!10!*7*19 :)

choose E
My knowledge frontiers came to evolve the GMATPill's methods - the credited study means to boost the Verbal competence. I really like their videos, especially for RC, CR and SC. You do check their study methods at https://www.gmatpill.com
