Indivisibility and Divisibility Polytopes

We study the the polytopes of binary n-strings that encode
(positive) integers that are not divisible by a particular positive integer
p --- the ``indivisibility polytopes'', as
well as the more general ``clipped cubes''.
Also, we discuss a potential application to factoring.
Finally, we present some results concerning divisibility polytopes.
