Unique Factorization

+**Unique Factorization**

+Unique factorization asserts that every [integer](/wiki/integer) greater than one can be uniquely expressed as a product of [prime numbers](/wiki/prime_number), regardless of the order of the factors. This fundamental principle underpins much of number theory, revealing the unique prime "fingerprint" of each whole number.
