On the bold part is my problem. When my loop is in while form, it runs perfectly, but when i try to change it to "for loop", it displays a wrong output.

[Moschops]

In the for loop you set a=1, but you don't in the while loop.

[WaltP]

Your FOR loops are completely wrong

for (a=1; ktr<11; ktr++)            // you start A at 1 but use KTR as the loop index
    {
        if(a%2==0 || a%3==0 || a%5==0)
        {
            System.out.print(a + " ");
            ktr++;                      // you already do this in the FOR loop
        }
        a--;                            // you decrement A and use it to exit 
        if (a>4) {break;}               //    the loop but that's what the KTR<11 
                                        //    is supposed to do in the FOR loop
                                        //    Also, you start A at 1 and decrement, 
                                        //    so how does it get to 4?
     }

The other loop (the bolded one)

for (a=1; ktr<11; ktr++)    // you start A at 1 but use KTR as the loop index
{                           // You never use initialize nor use KTR
    if(a%3!=0 && a%5!=0 && a%4!=0 && a%2!=0 && a%7!=0 || a==2 || a==3 || a==5)
    {
        System.out.print(a + " "); 
    }
               
    a--;                // you decrement A and use it to exit 
    if (a<1){break;}    //    the loop but that's what the KTR<11 
}                       //    is supposed to do in the FOR loop
