2021/061) Prove that the number 9999999+1999000 is composite.

Let x = 1000 to keep it simple

So we get

9999999+1999000  = 10^7-1 + 1999 * 1000

= 10 * 10^ 6 - 1+ (2000-1)* 1000

= 10 x^2 - 1 + (2x-1) x putting 1000 = x

=12x^2 - x - 1

= (4x+1)(3x-1)

= 4001 * 2999 putting back x = 1000 

Hence it is composite
