Take the list
In[1]:== lst == Range[100]
Out[1]== {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, \
18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, \
35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, \
52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, \
69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, \
86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100}
Deleting all multiples of 5 (including 5 itself):
In[2]:== int == 5; DeleteCases[lst, x_ /; Mod[x, int] ==== 0]
Out[2]== {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, \
22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, \
43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 61, 62, 63, \
64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, \
86, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 97, 98, 99}
Deleting all multiples of 5 and 8 (including both 5 and 8):
In[3]:== int1 == 5; int2 == 8;
DeleteCases[lst,
x_ /; Mod[x, int1] ==== 0 || Mod[x, int2] ==== 0]
Out[3]== {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, \
26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, \
49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, 58, 59, 61, 62, 63, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 73, \
74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89, 91, 92, 93, 94, 97, \
98, 99}
