| − | Conditional sub-proof of indirect proof: Let's introduce a second hypothesis and see what follows from it.
| + | Simple assumption: The hypoteneuse is always larger than either of its lengths. |

| − | :Simple assumption: One or more sets of ''two'' natural numbers, a pair ''n''<sub>1</sub> and ''n''<sub>2</sub>, for example, exist that have a positive integral factor ''f'' apart from one and themselves and common to both of them.

| − | | |
| − | :Corollary to assumption: Through the definition of prime numbers such as described in the first "conceptualization" section, if any pair of positive integers ''n''<sub>1</sub> and ''n''<sub>2</sub> have an common integral factor ''f'' apart from one and themselves, they are not prime because they ''both'' have a non-prime type of positive integral factor; in fact it's the same one.

| − | Conditional sub-proof to be proven: ''Assuming no pair of prime numbers can possess the qualities of the pair set with the described factor, no three lines having prime numbers as lengths can form a right triangle.''

| | 2. And since ''l''<sub>1</sub> and ''l''<sub>2</sub> are whole numbers, that which results when they are multiplied by themselves, namely ''l''<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> and ''l''<sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup>, certainly are as well. | | 2.

| − | 3. 2nd simple assumption: The hypoteneuse is always larger than either of its lengths | + | 3. Because of the simple assumption, the square of the prime legs ''l''<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> and ''l''<sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup> only have a prime factor doubled which must be less than prime factor ''h'' and therefore the leg lengths squared are not divisible by the prime hypoteneuse by the given definition of a prime number. |

| − | 4. Because of this second assumption, the square of the prime legs ''l''<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup> and ''l''<sub>2</sub><sup>2</sup> only have a prime factor doubled which must be less than prime factor ''h'' and therefore the prime hypoteneuse is not divisible by the squared legs.

| | | | |
| − | 5. Therefore the sum of each of the squared legs divided by the hypoteneuse can never be a whole number like the ''h'' that remains when ''h'' is divided through.
| + | 4. Therefore the sum of each of the squared legs divided by the hypoteneuse can never be a whole number like the ''h'' that remains when ''h'' is divided through. |
