Every prime is of that form. Proof: p=p!/(p-1)! use induction on primes less than p to write (p-1)! in that form. Corollary: Your result.

Not sure this proof is complete - I feel it needs a 2D recursive argument - but maybe I am missing something - can you clarify?

Yah, the proof is very hand-wavy. It defines P as the largest prime dividing A or B, but only proves the case where it divides A.

.how is this relation derived given P? => A/B = P^{K} * (A'/B') ?
