Solution
Note that 7×11×13=1001 Take any three digit number say, abc.
Then abc×1001=abcabc
Therefore, the six digit number abcabc is divisible by 7,11 and 13
According to the Question
⇒ Let a 3 digit number be abc
Now repeating it we get abcabc
On Dividing abcabc by abc we get 1001
⇒abc×1001=abcabc
Therefore 1001 is factor of abcabc and 1001=13×7×11
