Topic: Proving field is gcd domain
AHan (Dec 19 2018 at 09:39):
While trying to prove a field is gcd domain, I found out that there seems like a conflict between two fields of class gcd_domain
to me ...
lean norm_unit_coe_units : ∀(u : units α), norm_unit u = u⁻¹
and
lean norm_unit_gcd : ∀a b, norm_unit (gcd a b) = 1
Since every element in a field, is a unit, and if a ≠ 0 ∨ b ≠ 0
, then 1 = norm_unit (gcd a b) = (gcd a b)⁻¹
...

Do I misunderstand something?
Kenny Lau (Dec 19 2018 at 09:41):
therefore gcd a b = 1
!
AHan (Dec 19 2018 at 09:42):
@Kenny Lau Yes... which sounds strange to me...
Kenny Lau (Dec 19 2018 at 09:42):
why?
Kenny Lau (Dec 19 2018 at 09:42):
who would say that gcd 3 5 = -1
?
Kenny Lau (Dec 19 2018 at 09:42):
or gcd pi e = 3
?
AHan (Dec 19 2018 at 09:48):
Why wouldn't gcd 3 5 = 3
?
AHan (Dec 19 2018 at 09:49):
Oh I'm wrong...
AHan (Dec 19 2018 at 09:49):
Yeah, you're right! It sould be 1!!
