If X times d1 squared times q times r is a perfect square, then every prime other than q and r occurs in X to an even multiplicity. The left-hand side being a square forces even multiplicity for every prime in the product; the contribution of d1 squared is twice the multiplicity of d1 and so already even; and the contribution of q times r is supported only on q and r. Subtracting leaves the multiplicity in X even. This is the squareclass step underlying the two-prime residual, where it says that the odd-multiplicity prime support of the cyclotomic part is exactly the pair q and r.

This is the reusable squareclass step for the two-prime square-free-index residual. It is stated generically in X, d1, q, r and l so that it can be applied to the cyclotomic product ((p+1)/2)*(p^2+p+1)*(p^2-p+1) with l = 3. The proof uses only Nat.factorization_mul, Nat.factorization_pow and Nat.factorization_eq_zero_of_not_dvd, and the conclusion is phrased with Even so that it composes with the Proved parity splitting child exists_odd_factorization_prime_of_mul_ne_even.
