How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Squarefree positive integers

Definition

A positive integer $n$ is squarefree if no square of a prime divides $n$ . Equivalently, every exponent in its canonical prime factorisation is $0$ or $1$ . The integer $1$ is squarefree by the empty factorisation.

Depends on

For $n \ge 1$ and any injective list $p : r \to \mathbb{Z}$ of primes containing every prime divisor of $n$, one has $n = \prod_{i<r} p_i^{\,v_{p_i}(n)}$; the exponents are determined by $n$, and $v_q(n) = 0$ for every prime $q$ outside the list

Dependency tree · two levels

28 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
