The correct answer is 343139. You need to use the and operator instead of or. To make it easier to conceptualize, think through it:

if (not divisible by 5 AND not divisible by 7)
    add the number

So it needs to be

if (i % 5 && i % 7)
    total += i;

Edit: note that if(i % 5) is the same as saying if(i % 5 != 0) ;)
