divides_remainder

Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

A common divisor of a dividend and divisor also divides the 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.

Structural proof guide

Generated structural guide

A common divisor of a dividend and divisor also divides the remainder.

Use the direct prerequisites mul_assoc, factor_difference as previously established PA formulas.

The proof proceeds by case analysis (2), equality transport (1).
