SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical relationship between two sets, A and B, where set A consists of natural numbers from 1 to 10, and set B contains the numbers 2 and 3. It establishes that if an element in set B is a factor of an element in set A, that element from set A should be included in set C. The conclusion is that set C comprises the elements 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10, represented mathematically as C = {a in A : ∃ b in B such that b|a}.

Hi, I was just wondering, if I have a set (denoted by A)of natural numbers, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and each element(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) in the set is denoted by a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j

and set B is the natural numbers 2 and 3

How would I say that if an element in set B is a factor of an elemetn in set A, then take that element in A( which B is a factor of) and and place it into a set C

for example, since the elemetents 2,3,4,6,9,10 in set A are multiples of the elements in set B
then set C is the elements 2,3,4,6,9,10

C={a in A : [tex]\exists[/tex] b in B such that b|a}. Is that what you meant?
