First Element of Geometric Sequence not dividing Second/Proof 1

Proof
Let $P_a = \paren {a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n}$ be a geometric progression of natural numbers such that $a_0 \nmid a_1$.

Aiming for a contradiction, suppose $a_0 \mathop \backslash a_k$ for some $k: 2 \le k \le n$.

Let $b_0, b_1, \ldots, b_k$ be the least natural numbers which have the same common ratio as $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_k$.

These can be found by means of.

From
 * $a_0 : a_k = b_0 : b_k$

Also:
 * $a_0 : a_1 = b_0 : b_1$

and so as $a_0 \nmid a_1$ it follows by :
 * $b_0 \nmid b_1$

From One Divides all Integers it follows that:
 * $b_0 \ne 1$

From :
 * $b_0 \perp b_k$

But as:
 * $a_0 : a_k = b_0 : b_k$

it follows that
 * $a_0 \nmid a_k$

Now suppose $a_j \mathop \backslash a_k$ such that $0 < j < k$.

Let $b_j, \ldots, b_k$ be the least natural numbers which have the same common ratio as $a_j, \ldots, a_k$.

These can be found by means of.

From
 * $a_j : a_k = b_j : b_k$

The other cases follow similarly.
