Wilson theorem states that `(n-1)!+1` is divisible by `n`.
Now, `12!+6!+12!xx6! +1! = 12!+12!xx6!+6!+1`
Now, from Wilson theorem, `6!+1` will be divisible by `7`.
`:. 12!+12!xx6!+6!+1` will be divisible by `7` as `12!` and `12!xx6!` are also divisible by `7`.
So, the smallest divisor of the given number is `7`.
