Stream: Is there code for X?
Topic: Simple integer divisibility

Hello, novice user here. Is there any quick theorem for a | b -> a | c -> forall w x, a | wb + xc? (i.e., divisibility of linear combinations)
Kevin Buzzard (Oct 26 2020 at 15:45):
That looks to me like an easy consequence of two theorems which are probably there: a | b -> a | w*b
and a | b -> a | c -> a | (b+c)

I guess not directly, but with a combo of dvd_add
and dvd_mul_(left|right)
you should be able to get there.

(let us know if we've said enough)

You probably want docs#dvd_mul_of_dvd_left (as opposed to dvd_mul_left
)

Thanks for the help! Don't know why those eluded me for so long.
