5 ! + 6 ! = 5 ! + 5 ! ( 6 ) = 5 ! ( 1 + 6 ) = 5 ! ( 7 ) = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 7 5!+6!=5!+5!(6)=5!(1+6)=5!(7)=1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 7

Therefore, the largest prime factor is 7 \boxed{7} .

5 ! 5! + + 6 ! 6! = = 1 × ( 5 ! ) + 6 × ( 5 ! ) 1 \times (5!) + 6 \times (5!) = = ( 1 + 6 ) × ( 5 ! ) (1+6) \times (5!) = ( 7 ) × ( 5 ! ) (7) \times (5!) = = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 7 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 7
So, the largest prime number is 7 \boxed{7}

n n \rightarrow ( n + 1 ) ! = ( n + 1 ) × ( n ! ) (n+1)! = (n+1) \times (n!) ]

5! + 6! = 5! + 6 * 5!
= 5! ( 1 + 6) = 7 * 5! [ n! = n*(n-1)! ] Now largest prime factor of n! <= n. Hence, in 5! we have the largest prime factor <=5. Here its = 5. But 7>5 and 7 is also a prime. Hence the answer is 7.
