Description: Relationship between division and reciprocal. Theorem I.9 of Apostol p. 18. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 27-May-2016)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses div1d.1 ( 𝜑𝐴 ∈ ℂ )
divcld.2 ( 𝜑𝐵 ∈ ℂ )
divcld.3 ( 𝜑𝐵 ≠ 0 )
Assertion divrecd ( 𝜑 → ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) = ( 𝐴 · ( 1 / 𝐵 ) ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 div1d.1 ( 𝜑𝐴 ∈ ℂ )
2 divcld.2 ( 𝜑𝐵 ∈ ℂ )
3 divcld.3 ( 𝜑𝐵 ≠ 0 )
4 divrec ( ( 𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ≠ 0 ) → ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) = ( 𝐴 · ( 1 / 𝐵 ) ) )
