Abstract

We will describe an algorithm to arrange all the positive and negative integer numbers. This array of numbers permits grouping them in six different Classes, α\alpha, β\beta, γ\gamma, δ\delta, ϵ\epsilon, and ζ\zeta. Particularly, numbers belong to Class α\alpha are defined as α=1+6n\alpha=1+6 n, and those of Class β\beta, as β=5+6n\beta=5+6n, where n=0,±1,±2,±3,±4,...n=0,\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,... These two Classes α\alpha and β\beta,contain: i) all prime numbers, except + 2, -2 and ±\pm3, which belong to ϵ\epsilon, δ\delta, and γ\gamma Classes, respectively, and ii) all the other odd numbers, except those that are multiple of ±\pm3, according to the sequence ±\pm9, ±\pm15, ±\pm21, ±\pm27, ... Besides, products between numbers of the Class α\alpha, and also those between numbers of the Class β\beta, generates numbers belonging to the Class α\alpha. On the other side, products between numbers of Class α\alpha with numbers of Class β\beta, result in numbers of Class β\beta. Then, both Classes α\alpha and β\beta include: i) all the prime numbers except ±\pm2 and ±\pm3, and ii) all the products between α\alpha numbers, as αα\alpha\cdot\alpha^{\prime}; all the products between β\beta numbers, as ββ\beta\cdot\beta^{\prime}; and also all the products between numbers of Classes α\alpha and β\beta, as αβ\alpha\cdot\beta, which necessarily are composite numbers, whose factorization is completely determined.
