Proof: By Euclid
(related to Proposition: 7.25: Square of Co-prime Number is Co-prime)
- For let $D$ be made equal to $A$.
- Since $A$ and $B$ are prime to one another, and $A$ (is) equal to $D$, $D$ and $B$ are thus also prime to one another.
- Thus, $D$ and $A$ are each prime to $B$.
- Thus, the (number) created from (multilying) $D$ and $A$ will also be prime to $B$ [Prop. 7.24].
- And $C$ is the number created from (multiplying) $D$ and $A$.
- Thus, $C$ and $B$ are prime to one another.
- (Which is) the very thing it was required to show.
