Proposition: 7.30: Euclidean Lemma
(Proposition 30 from Book 7 of Euclid's “Elements”)
If two numbers make some (number by) multiplying one another, and some prime number measures the number (so) created from them, then it will also measure one of the original (numbers).
* For let two numbers $A$ and $B$ make $C$ (by) multiplying one another, and let some prime number $D$ measure $C$.
* I say that $D$ measures one of $A$ and $B$.
