Description: Multiplication of both sides of 'less than' by a positive number. Theorem I.19 of Apostol p. 20. (Contributed by NM, 16-May-1999) (Proof shortened by Paul Chapman, 25-Jan-2008)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses ltplus1.1 ⊢ A ∈ ℝ
prodgt0.2 ⊢ B ∈ ℝ
ltmul1.3 ⊢ C ∈ ℝ
ltmul1i.4 ⊢ 0 < C
Assertion ltmul1ii ⊢ A < B ↔ A ⁢ C < B ⁢ C

Proof
