Hello Sudent,
Please find answer to your question below,


Form of positive integers:
a, a + 1, a + 2, a + 3, …....................
where

a\geq 1

Form of prime number:
n = 6q + 1; 6q + 5
where q is a non negative integer.
It will cover the most ot the prime number.

Hello student,
Any positive number should be written as \left | x \right |.
This is the modulus function. The domain can be both positive or negative integer but the range will always be positive integer.
For the given numbers, 2q, 2q+1, … can be negative as well and similarly if we replace 2 by any number it may be positive or negative. So, if a number has to be strictly positive, it should be written as \left | x \right |.
Regards
Sumit
