Theorem	algrf 12213	An algorithm is a step function F : S --> S on a state space S. An algorithm acts on an initial state A e.

Theorem	algcvg 12216*	One way to prove that an algorithm halts is to construct a countdown function C : S --> NN0 whose value is guaranteed to decrease for each iteration of F until it reaches 0. That is, if X e. S is not a fixed point of F, then ( C ` ( F ` X ) ) < ( C ` X ). If C is a countdown function for algorithm F, the sequence ( C ` ( R ` k ) ) reaches 0 after at most N steps, where N is the value of C for the initial state A.

Theorem	algcvgb 12218	Two ways of expressing that C is a countdown function for algorithm F. The first is used in these theorems. The second states the condition more intuitively as a conjunction: if the countdown function's value is currently nonzero, it must decrease at the next step; if it has reached zero, it must remain zero at the next step.

5.1.10  The least common multiple According to Wikipedia ("Least common multiple", 27-Aug-2020, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple): "In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least upper bound in the lattice of divisibility." In this section, an operation calculating the least common multiple of two integers (df-lcm 12229). The definition is valid for all integers, including negative integers and 0, obeying the above mentioned convention.

This proof uses the latter to first confirm it for positive integers M and N (the "Second Proof" in the above Stack Exchange page), then shows that implies it for all nonzero integer inputs, then finally uses lcm0val 12233 to show it applies when either or both inputs are zero.

5.1.11  Coprimality and Euclid's lemma According to Wikipedia "Coprime integers", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime_integers (16-Aug-2020) "[...] two integers a and b are said to be relatively prime, mutually prime, or coprime [...] if the only positive integer (factor) that divides both of them is 1. Consequently, any prime number that divides one does not divide the other. This is equivalent to their greatest common divisor (gcd) being 1.". In the following, we use this equivalent characterization to say that A e. ZZ and B e. ZZ are coprime (or relatively prime) if ( A gcd B ) = 1. The equivalence of the definitions is shown by coprmgcdb 12256. The negation, i.e. two integers are not coprime, can be expressed either by ( A gcd B ) =/= 1, see ncoprmgcdne1b 12257, or equivalently by 1 < ( A gcd B ), see ncoprmgcdgt1b 12258. A proof of Euclid's lemma based on coprimality is provided in coprmdvds 12260 (as opposed to Euclid's lemma for primes).
Theorem	coprmgcdb 12256*	Two positive integers are coprime, i.e. the only positive integer that divides both of them is 1, iff their greatest common divisor is 1. (Contributed by AV, 9-Aug-2020.)
