Ok I don't understand one thing...We ahd this example in school

We have poset < {1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70}, | >
| meas factor, for example a|b means b=ka, where k=integer

and we got this Hasse diagram

Code:
        70
       / | \
     10 14 35
     | X  X |
     2   5  7
      \  | /
         1

X means crossed lines

But the hasse diagram definition says that we draw a line between element and the element above it if and only if the lower element is the immediate predecessor of the above one. So why is there a line between 1 and 5? Because there's element 2 in between. Same with 1 and 7, 2 and 10, 7 and 35, etc etc same with almost every element. To me they don't seem to be immediate predecessors/successors with each other

I have google some more examples but they all have the same contradiction between definition and example. So what i don't understand here :(

Really? 1 divides 2 and 2 divides 5?
 
i still don't get it :(
for example why is 2 immediate predecessor of 10

Well, what could come between them? What numbers both divide 10 and are divisible by 2?
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
