Question Number 65423 by byaw last updated on 29/Jul/19

Commented by mr W last updated on 29/Jul/19

all primes are not divisible  by 3 and 5.

$${all}\:{primes}\:{are}\:{not}\:{divisible} \\ $$$${by}\:\mathrm{3}\:{and}\:\mathrm{5}. \\ $$

from 1 to 30 there are 10 primes. they  are all not divisible by 3 and 5.  p=((10)/(30))=(1/3)

$${from}\:\mathrm{1}\:{to}\:\mathrm{30}\:{there}\:{are}\:\mathrm{10}\:{primes}.\:{they} \\ $$$${are}\:{all}\:{not}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:{and}\:\mathrm{5}. \\ $$$${p}=\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{30}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

Sir, I think that there are 8 such primes  (Excluding 3 and 5 because they are  divisible by 3 and 5 respectly)   2,7,11,13,17,19,23,29.

$${Sir},\:{I}\:{think}\:{that}\:{there}\:{are}\:\mathrm{8}\:{such}\:{primes} \\ $$$$\left({Excluding}\:\mathrm{3}\:{and}\:\mathrm{5}\:{because}\:{they}\:{are}\right. \\ $$$$\left.{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:{and}\:\mathrm{5}\:{respectly}\right) \\ $$$$\:\mathrm{2},\mathrm{7},\mathrm{11},\mathrm{13},\mathrm{17},\mathrm{19},\mathrm{23},\mathrm{29}. \\ $$

mathematical language has to be accurate  “3 and 5” ≠ “3 or 5” ≠ “3 xor 5”  x divisible by 3 and 5 ⇒ x=15n  x divisible by 3 or 5 ⇒ x=3n or x=5n or x=15n  x divisible by 3 xor 5 ⇒ (x=3n or x=5n) and x≠15n  [n, k ∈Z]

$$\mathrm{mathematical}\:\mathrm{language}\:\mathrm{has}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{accurate} \\ $$$$``\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{5}''\:\neq\:``\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{5}''\:\neq\:``\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{xor}\:\mathrm{5}'' \\ $$$${x}\:\mathrm{divisible}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}=\mathrm{15}{n} \\ $$$${x}\:\mathrm{divisible}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}=\mathrm{3}{n}\:\mathrm{or}\:{x}=\mathrm{5}{n}\:\mathrm{or}\:{x}=\mathrm{15}{n} \\ $$$${x}\:\mathrm{divisible}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{xor}\:\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow\:\left({x}=\mathrm{3}{n}\:\mathrm{or}\:{x}=\mathrm{5}{n}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:{x}\neq\mathrm{15}{n} \\ $$$$\left[{n},\:{k}\:\in\mathbb{Z}\right] \\ $$

You′re very right sir.I didn′t care of  that!

i agree with MJS sir.  what Rasheed sir means is probably  what the question really means, but  the question uses an inaccurate  language.

$${i}\:{agree}\:{with}\:{MJS}\:{sir}. \\ $$$${what}\:{Rasheed}\:{sir}\:{means}\:{is}\:{probably} \\ $$$${what}\:{the}\:{question}\:{really}\:{means},\:{but} \\ $$$${the}\:{question}\:{uses}\:{an}\:{inaccurate} \\ $$$${language}. \\ $$
