In mathematics, a lemma (a "helping theorem") is a proved proposition which is used as a stepping stone to a larger result rather than as a statement of interest by itself.
Lemma 1. If= then = = . Proof. Let = = k. Then a = b*k, c = d*k and = = = k = = . The lemma is proved. Lemma 2. If = = then = = . The proof is obvious. Major statement. = . Proof. It follows IMMEDIATELY Lemma 1 and Lemma 2.
