SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on coding the LaTeX symbols for "does not divide" (represented as $$x \nmid y$$) and "is not congruent to" (represented as $$a \not\equiv b$$). Users confirm that these symbols are commonly referenced in online resources, yet they express frustration in locating the correct syntax. The mention of Detexify highlights a useful tool for identifying LaTeX symbols through handwritten input, which can aid users in finding the correct codes more efficiently.

I've tried to figure it out but did not find them:
Does anybody know how to code the symbols of "does not divide" = "not |" and "is not congruent to" = "not ≡" in LaTex?
Thanks for reading.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
$$x\nmid y$$
$$a \not\equiv b$$
Most (!) google hits for "latex does not divide" and "latex not congruent symbol" describe those symbols.

Thank you. I've just read several pdf and the guide here. I should have found that solution by myself. :oops:
