let x be Real; :: thesis: ( x is liouville implies x is irrational )
assume A0: x is liouville ; :: thesis: x is irrational
assume x is rational ; :: thesis: contradiction
then consider c being Integer, d being Nat such that
A1: ( d > 0 & x = c / d ) by RAT_1:8;
consider n being non zero Nat such that
ST: 2 to_power (n - 1) > d by Th10;
consider p being Integer, q being Nat such that
B1: ( q > 1 & 0 < |.(x - (p / q)).| & |.(x - (p / q)).| < 1 / (q |^ n) ) by A0;
SS: |.((c / d) - (p / q)).| = |.(((c * q) - (p * d)) / (d * q)).| by XCMPLX_1:130, B1, A1

.= |.((c * q) - (p * d)).| / (d * q) ;
(c * q) - (p * d) <> 0

proof

assume (c * q) - (p * d) = 0 ; :: thesis: contradiction
then p / q = c / d by XCMPLX_1:94, B1, A1;
hence contradiction by B1, A1; :: thesis: verum
