"No Less than Four" means "NOT Less than Four" Four is the Minimum. There is no Maximum, except as a limit, the surreal number infinity.
or it means greater than or equal to four
in math symbols
> 4
x > 4
4 < x < + infinity
in interval notation x is an element of the interval [4, infinity)
in set builder notation
{x|x>4}
or
4 < x
or
x is > 4 or x = 4
or x =4 or 4+
No less than could also be symbolized by an inequality < sign with a slash, /, through it to indicate not less than. like those street signs with a slash sign through some prohibited or illegal activity, Like a public park sign with a dog picture and a slash sign through it, saying no dogs allowed.
or you could graph it on a real number line, just a straight horizontal line, going forever to left and right, with zero as the midpoint
draw a small dot, darkened in at number 4, then draw a line to the right of 4, with an arrow at the right end of the line, to indicate it goes on forever. That's a one dimenstional graph.
You could do a 2 dimensional graph. draw a vertical line at x=4, then shade in all area to the right, usually a cris cross typed shading is done, with arrows pointing to the right to indicate the shading goes on forever.
3 D is possible but too difficult to draw or have a real mental image, much less try. 4D never. ever, although economists have sometimes used models with n-tuples, where n could be any number, 4 or more.
or in Spanish
"no menos de cuatro" such as Cinco de Mayo, "una mas de cuatro" Un gran dia en Mexico
or in French
"pas moins de quatre"
or in pig Latin
otnay esslay anthay ourfay
(pigs may not understand though, although some horses have been able to count to 4, pounding their hooves 4 times, their neighs like nayes or no)
two ways to write it are printing or cursive, capitals or lower case
NO LESS THAN FOUR or "no less than four"
other languages, alphabets: Hebrew, Chinese, Greek, Russian
"no less than four" sounds like a mandatory sentencing law requiring a minimum prison term for certain felonies
"no less than four" protons for an atom rules out hydrogen, helium and lithium, but also has a limit of 118 as Oganesson is a synthetic element with the largest number of protons, sythesized in 2015 by Russian and American scientists. so 4 < protons in an atome < 118, at least until more scientists find a larger atom
4 < p < 118
"no less than four" physical dimensions goes from Einstein's time space 4 D to string theories 10 or 11 dimensions
4 < d < 11
some people or instructors like to see real world examples of equations or math inequalities. there are 3 above, in criminal law, chemistry and physics. Physics underlies everything. So do chemical elements on the periodic table, except for dark matter, which is another matter. Criminal law is expanding too, with so many criminal laws, not even lawyers know more than a small fraction of them. Then add in the soaring crimes rights, and prosecutors ready to charge anyone for any obscure law and "no less than 4" also has no limit. They even sentence people to multiple life sentences plus more specific times on 20 or more charges. 4 < t < maybe 1,000 years in the pen. life sentenes still have finite time limits until medicine progresses and we can live forever.
so, final conclusion?
at least 100+ different ways to write "No Less than Four" depending on context and hyper legalistic requirements by whoever asked this question
