An ordering on a set A












0












$begingroup$


Let $A= {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}$.

An ordering on A is defined $xleq y $ $Leftrightarrow$ $y ; text{is multiple of}
;x$
.



Find the maximal and minimal elements of A.
$2$ is the minimum or not ?
$5$ is a maximal element ?
I don't have any idea for this question.



Thanks your helping.

$begingroup$

The minimal elements of $A$ are those which do not have any divisors in $A$: by inspection these are $2,3,5,$ and $7$.



The maximal elements of $A$ are those which do not divide any other elements of $A$: by inspection these are $7,8,9,$ and $10$.
