cf_approximation_exact_value_prepend

A genuine Euclidean quotient transports an exact tail rational value to an exact value of the original fraction.

Alpha v34 checked-use · first admitted v29 · independently kernel and Lean verified; not Stable

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.

The initial 0/1 convergent is included: u is natural, not necessarily positive. Comparison denominators are strictly smaller and positive. Signed competitors are represented by an arbitrary difference rp−rn. Approximation inequalities are proved from the trace, never stored as assumptions in Convergent.

Exact theorem in conservative defined notation

∀ a. ∀ b. ∀ q. ∀ r. ∀ p. ∀ n. a = b · q + r → b · n = r · p → a · p = b · (q · p + n)

Every linked abbreviation expands hygienically to the identical original native formula.

Complete tactic proof in conservative notation

All 13 original proof lines are preserved. Only local proposition formulas are abbreviated; every abbreviation has an exact binder-safe expansion check. The linked exact edition contains the unchanged replay script.

This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.

Definition notation is shown below. Open the paired exact edition for the original native formulas. Source pairing is not a new equivalence certificate.
