Euclid's lemma
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Euclid's Lemma
Etymology: Named after ancient Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria (fl. 300 BCE). A version of the proposition appears in Book VII of his Elements.
Senses: examples: text: I used Euclid's Lemma in a slightly sly way in the second chapter, where I ran through the argument that #92;sqrt 2 is irrational. I said there that if 2 is a factor of a² then a itself must be even. This follows from Euclid's Lemma upon taking p#61;2, the only even prime, and taking b#61;a. Indeed, using Euclid's Lemma it is not hard to generalize the argument showing #92;sqrt 2 to be irrational to prove that #92;sqrtp is irrational for any prime p.
ref: 1998, Peter M. Higgins, Mathematics for the Curious, Oxford University Press, page 78:
text: If a and b are not relatively prime, then the conclusion of Euclid's lemma may fail to hold. A specific example: 12#92;mid 9#92;cdot 8, but 12#92;nmid 9 and 12#92;nmid 8.
ref: 2007, David M. Burton, The History of Mathematics, McGraw-Hill, page 179:
