Which option correctly shows the breaking of the coprime condition in the proof of (\sqrt{2})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Getting (p=2m) and (q=2n)
Step 1: (p=2m) and (q=2n) mean both are divisible by (2). Step 2: Then (2) becomes their common factor. Step 3: A lowest-form fraction should not have such a common factor.
