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.

Exact expanded PA statement

forall m n. ~(m = 0) -> exists q r. n = m * q + r /\ S r <= m

Structural proof guide

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

Direct prerequisites: zero_or_succ, division_remainder_succ. The authored body proceeds by case analysis (2), equality transport (2).

Formal native tactic body

Dependencies are hypotheses of the historical Alpha-v12 body receipt. The complete historical Alpha-v18 proof bundle independently checks every dependency; current Alpha v25 preserves that checked theorem use without changing Stable membership.
