State the fundamental theorem of Arthemetic
Answers
Answer:
In number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, also called the unique factorization theorem or the unique-prime-factorization theorem, states that every integer greater than 1 either is a prime number itself or can be represented as the product of prime numbers and that, moreover, this representation is unique, up to (except for) the order of the factors.....☺
Step-by-step explanation:
It states that every prime number can be expressed as a product of primes.
To understand it we need to know what is prime and composite Numbers in a unique way.
»» A prime Number is a number which cannot be divided by any other Number. That is it is a number which id divisible only by 1 and the number itself
Eg - 2,3,5,7,11 etc...
»» A Composite Number is a number which can be divided by other Numbers.That is it can be shown as a product of primes.
Eg - 10 , Here 10 can be shown as 2×5
