MHB Prove that the sum of 6 positive integers is a composite number

[anemone]

Let $a,\,b,\,c,\,d,\,e,\,f$ be positive integers and $S=a+b+c+d+e+f$. Suppose that the number $S$ divides $abc+def$ and $ab+bc+ca-de-ef-df$, prove that $S$ is composite.

Spoiler: Solution of other

All the coefficients of

$\begin{align*}f(x)&=(x+a)(x+b)(x+c)-(x-d)(x-e)(x-f)\\&=Sx^2+(ab+bc+ca-de-ef-fd)x+(abc+def)\end{align*}$

are multiples of $S$. Evaluating $f$ at $d$, we get that $f(d)=(a+d)(b+d)(c+d)$ is a multiple of $S$.

So this implies that $S$ is composite, since $a+d,\,b+d,\,c+d$ are all strictly less than $S$.
