Choose a nonzero integer with . By the Chinese remainder theorem, choose satisfying and . Put . Then
This proves the requested simultaneous approximation, even when the rational targets have denominators divisible by either prime.
A rational sequence converging to zero at every standard absolute value is:
Its ordinary absolute value is at most , hence tends to zero. For a fixed prime and all sufficiently large , the denominator is congruent to one modulo , so . Therefore for each prime as well. The assertion concerns each fixed prime separately, rather than uniform convergence over all primes.
