division_remainder_exists

Stable checked-use theorem · independently kernel verified

Every positive divisor admits a quotient and a strictly bounded remainder.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.

Statement with defined notation

∀ m. ∀ n. ¬m = 0 → ∃ x. ∃ y. DivRem(n,m,x,y)

Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. Expanding the displayed statement recovers the exact first-order Peano-arithmetic formula checked by the unchanged kernel.

Definition-aware tactic body

Only local propositions introduced by have or suffices are compacted. Every changed line has an exact-AST conservative-expansion receipt; the kernel still receives the immutable original tactic script.
