A natural number p is a prime number provided that the only integers dividing p are 1 and p itself. In fact, for p to be a prime number, it is the same as requiring that “For all integers x and y, if p divides xy, then p divides x or p divides y.” Use this property to show that “If p is a prime number, then √p is an irrational number.” Please write down a formal proof.
