Theorem gcdn0val

Description: The value of the gcd operator when at least one operand is nonzero. (Contributed by Paul Chapman, 21-Mar-2011)

Ref Expression
Assertion gcdn0val ( ( ( 𝑀 ∈ ℤ ∧ 𝑁 ∈ ℤ ) ∧ ¬ ( 𝑀 = 0 ∧ 𝑁 = 0 ) ) → ( 𝑀 gcd 𝑁 ) = sup ( { 𝑛 ∈ ℤ ∣ ( 𝑛𝑀𝑛𝑁 ) } , ℝ , < ) )

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 gcdval ( ( 𝑀 ∈ ℤ ∧ 𝑁 ∈ ℤ ) → ( 𝑀 gcd 𝑁 ) = if ( ( 𝑀 = 0 ∧ 𝑁 = 0 ) , 0 , sup ( { 𝑛 ∈ ℤ ∣ ( 𝑛𝑀𝑛𝑁 ) } , ℝ , < ) ) )
