-- Divisibility from the left

_∣ˡ_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∣ˡ y = ∃ λ q → (x ∙ q) ≈ y

_∤ˡ_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∤ˡ y = ¬ x ∣ˡ y

-- Divisibility from the right

_∣ʳ_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∣ʳ y = ∃ λ q → (q ∙ x) ≈ y

_∤ʳ_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∤ʳ y = ¬ x ∣ʳ y

-- General divisibility

-- The relations _∣ˡ_ and _∣ʳ_ are only equivalent when _∙_ is
-- commutative. When that is not the case we take `_∣ʳ_` to be the
-- primary one.

_∣_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
_∣_ = _∣ʳ_

_∤_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∤ y = ¬ x ∣ y

-- Mutual divisibility.

-- In a  monoid, this is an equivalence relation extending _≈_.
-- When in a cancellative monoid,  elements related by _∣∣_ are called
-- associated, and `x ∣∣ y` means that `x` and `y` differ by some
-- invertible factor.

-- Example: for ℕ  this is equivalent to x ≡ y,
--          for ℤ  this is equivalent to (x ≡ y or x ≡ - y).

_∣∣_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
x ∣∣ y = x ∣ y × y ∣ x

_∤∤_ : Rel A (a ⊔ ℓ)
