Proof
(related to Lemma: Generalized Euclidean Lemma)
- By hypothesis, the prime number \(p\) divides a product of integers \(n=\prod_{i=1}^\rho n_i.\)
- Assume, $p\not\mid n_i$ for all $i=1,\ldots,\rho.$
- Then, according to co-prime primes, $\gcd(p,n_i)=1$ for all $i=1,\ldots,\rho.$
- Therefore, according to divisors of a product co-prime to factors it follows that $p\not\mid n.$
- This is a contradiction to the hypothesis.
- Therefore, $p\mid n_i$ for at least one $i\in\{1,\ldots,\rho\}.$
