{{re|Contribute.Math}} The primary problem with adding this proof is that there's no [[WP:RS|source]] for it. It's a cute approach, and one I hadn't actually run across before. But there are already a few proofs in here, and we could add at least 10 more. I'm not sure if it really benefits the article to just catalog proof after proof. On a side note, if you're interested in contributing more to math articles, please also see especially [[MOS:MATH#TONE]] (and the rest of the page, too). Constructions like "Let's ..." are problematic. –[[User:Deacon Vorbis|Deacon Vorbis]] ([[User Talk:Deacon Vorbis|carbon]] • [[Special:Contributions/Deacon Vorbis|videos]]) 15:00, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your correction. I remplacedreplaced this time the problematic constructions. I also published the source. It is Euler's first rigorous proof (and second proof) of the theorem. The French wikipedia page refers to it. Since it is a proof made by Euler, I think that an English source exists. If someone finds it, please replace the French source.
