Ref Expression
Hypotheses div1d.1
|- ( ph -> A e. CC )
divcld.2
|- ( ph -> B e. CC )
divcld.3
|- ( ph -> B =/= 0 )
Assertion divrecd
|- ( ph -> ( A / B ) = ( A x. ( 1 / B ) ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 div1d.1
 |-  ( ph -> A e. CC )
2 divcld.2
 |-  ( ph -> B e. CC )
3 divcld.3
 |-  ( ph -> B =/= 0 )
4 divrec
 |-  ( ( A e. CC /\ B e. CC /\ B =/= 0 ) -> ( A / B ) = ( A x. ( 1 / B ) ) )
