Abstract:
The structure of all infinite incongruent disjoint covering systems (IIDCS) whose moduli are divisible by no prime $> 3$ is given. It is then shown that this structure characterizes the subset of IIDCS for which the greatest common factor of all the moduli is $1$, and the set of primes dividing the moduli is finite.References
