Cardinal.le_range_of_union_finset_eq_univ

∀ {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} [Infinite β] (f : α → Finset β),
  ⋃ a, ↑(f a) = Set.univ → Cardinal.mk β ≤ Cardinal.mk ↑(Set.range f)

If an infinite type β can be expressed as a union of finite sets, then the cardinality of the collection of those finite sets must be at least the cardinality of β.
