Let $n > 1 \in \Z$.
From the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, $n$ has a unique factorization of the form:
| \(\ds n\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \prod_{p_i \mathop \divides n} {p_i}^{k_i}\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds {p_1}^{k_1} {p_2}^{k_2} \cdots {p_r}^{k_r}\) |
where:
- $p_1 < p_2 < \cdots < p_r$ are distinct primes
- $k_1, k_2, \ldots, k_r$ are (strictly) positive integers.
This unique expression is known as the prime decomposition of $n$.
