Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

Scaling by a nonzero natural does not decrease a natural.

Exact expanded PA statement

forall C B. ~(C = 0) -> exists h. h + B = C * B

Structural proof guide

Generated structural guide

Scaling by a nonzero natural does not decrease a natural.

Use the direct prerequisites one_le_of_ne_zero, mul_le_mul_right, one_mul as previously established PA formulas.

The proof proceeds by intermediate claims (2), equality transport (1).
