My thinking:
I found that 53 would be the first smallest PRIME integer, which is not a factor of 50!, and hence, double of it would be a composite number which is 106, and still won’t be a factor of 50! But the correct answer given is 118. Where did I go wrong?
It’s ask for second smallest which is 59! So it’s multiple of 118 which is not the factor of 50 as well as not a prime number
