We present a certain geometrical interpretation of the natural numbers, where these numbers appear as joint products of 5and 3-multiples located at specified positions in a revolving chamber. Numbers without factors 2, 3 or 5 appear at eight such positions, and any prime number larger than 7 manifests at one of these eight positions after a specified amount of rotations of the chamber. Our appr...
