Theorem divcan1

Description: A cancellation law for division. (Contributed by NM, 5-Jun-2004) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 27-May-2016)

Ref Expression
Assertion divcan1 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → ( ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) · 𝐵 ) = 𝐴 )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 divcl ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) ∈ ℂ )
2 simp2 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → 𝐵 ∈ ℂ )
3 1 2 mulcomd ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → ( ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) · 𝐵 ) = ( 𝐵 · ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) ) )
4 divcan2 ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → ( 𝐵 · ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) ) = 𝐴 )
