A Proof That 2 = 1. Let A = B:

           A = B

multiply by A on both sides:

         A x A = A x B

subtract B x B from both sides:

   A x A – B x B = A x B – B x B

factorise:

  (A + B)(A – B) = B(A – B)

divide by (A – B) on both sides:

       (A + B) = B

replace A with B:

         B + B = B

factorise:

          2B = B

divide by B on both sides:

           2 = 1

Where lies the flaw in the logic?
