Today, we will explore a specific set: the integers divisible by 5 but not by 7. Let's think about what this means. Can anyone give an example of an integer that fits this criteria?
5 and 10 are examples since they are divisible by 5.
Great! But what about numbers like 35? Is it included?
No, because it’s also divisible by 7.
Exactly! That’s how we refine our set. We can denote this set as S: containing 0, ±5, ±10, and so forth, but not 35.
So the set S is infinite, right?
Yes, that's right! An infinite set. Let’s summarize: the structure of S includes integers like 0, ±5, ±10 but excludes multiples of both 5 and 7. This understanding is pivotal in recognizing how sets can be defined.
Countability of Set S

Now, let’s delve deeper into the countability of our set S. Who can remind us what it means for a set to be countable?
A set is countable if we can list its elements in a sequence.
Correct! Even infinite sets like our S can be countable. We can list the elements as 0, +5, -5, +10, -10, and continue this pattern while ensuring to skip numbers like ±35.
So, we’re basically mapping the absolute values of these integers?
Exactly, and that allows us to enumerate them while avoiding 35 and others. Mapping shows us how we can visualize our set's structure.
That’s interesting! There are many integers that still fit into S besides those we’ve mentioned, right?
Absolutely! Let’s remember this: while S is infinite, we can create an ordered approach to show how it’s countable. Good work today!
Visualizing the Countable Set

To visualize our set S effectively, let’s create a chart of its elements. How many numbers can we list down on a board?
We can start with 0, then get to 5 and -5, and keep adding 5 each time.
Exactly! And as we do this, we need to visually mark any numbers that violate our condition of not being divisible by 7.
I can see how this would help in identifying the correct elements quickly!
Right! Visualizations aid understanding of infinite sets. Can anyone explain why this visual method is crucial for understanding countability?
It makes it easier to see which integers belong to S and which don’t, which reinforces our understanding.
Well said! Keeping these visual tools can simplify complex ideas. Remember, practice will enhance your dexterity with concepts like these.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, we define the set of integers that are divisible by 5 yet not by 7, proving the countability of this set. This involves showcasing the elements in the set, analyzing their structure, and applying principles of set theory and cardinality to demonstrate key concepts.
Detailed
Set of Integers Divisible by 5 but not by 7
This section specifically discusses the set of integers divisible by 5 while excluding those that are also divisible by 7. We define this set as follows:
- Set S: This consists of integers like 0, ±5, ±10, ±15, ..., while excluding integers like ±35, ±70, ... which are multiples of both 5 and 7.
Additionally, the discussion includes an analysis of this set's countability. It establishes that, although the set is infinite, it can be enumerated by listing its elements according to absolute value while ensuring that numbers divisible by both 5 and 7 are excluded. The set is revealed to be a countable infinite set, as suitable mapping can represent it as a subset of the integers.

Key Concepts
-
Divisibility: Understanding whether an integer belongs to set S based on its divisibility by 5 and 7.
-
Countability: Recognizing that the set S is countable despite being infinite.
-
Cardinality: Exploring how to measure the size of infinite sets through cardinality.
Examples & Applications
Example of integers divisible by 5 include 0, 5, -5, 10 but not 35 as it is also divisible by 7.
The listing of S could start as {0, 5, -5, 10, -10, ...} illustrating its structure.
