If a prime divisor of satisfied , it would divide and therefore divide the difference , impossible. Hence .
Every integer has a prime divisor, and (ii) makes each of its prime divisors congruent to 1 modulo 4. Taking arbitrarily large produces such primes beyond every bound. ThereforeEquivalently, if their list were finite, choosing at least its largest member would produce a new member larger than that supposed maximum.
