Did you make a typographic error and really mean to type "5/6"? While an
expression such as (5|6) is a legitimate Mathematica expression, it is
not evaluated further with those arguments. However, the | symbol is a
special input for for the function Alternatives, which may be used to
form patters for patter-matching purposes; is that what you want?
If not, then please explain further what you want. Are you starting with
actual length-2 lists of integers or, instead, lists of strings
representing those integers? Do you want the raw (5|6) type expression
or a string looking like that.
