It's the only one that's not divisible by any of the factors. Apparently we disagree about precedence and associativity in English. I believe the not applies to the result of (divisible by 2, 3, or 5), so I'd count 1, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23. The first nonprime would be 49. If I were trying to get the series you describe, I'd phrase it as "Not divisible by 2, and not divisible by 3, and not divisible by 5" -- DaveA
