	Arithmetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word αριθμός = number) in common usage is a branch of (or the forerunner of) mathematics which records elementary properties of certain operations on numerals, though in usage by professional mathematicians, it often is treated as synonym for number theory.
		The traditional arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, although more advanced operations (such as manipulations of percentages, square root, exponentiation, and logarithmic functions) are also sometimes included in this subject.
		The arithmetic of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers (in the form of vulgar fractions), and real numbers (using the decimal place-value system known as algorism) is typically studied by schoolchildren, who learn manual algorithms for arithmetic.

		In mathematics, and in particular number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic is the statement that every positive integer can be written as a product of prime numbers in a unique way.
		The theorem establishes the importance of prime numbers.
		The fundamental theorem ensures that additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions are completely determined by their values on the powers of prime numbers.

	Fundamental theorem of arithmetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, and in particular number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic or unique factorization theorem is the statement that every positive integer greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be written as a product of prime numbers.
		To make the theorem work even for the number 1, we can think of 1 as being the product of zero prime numbers (see empty product).

	Arithmetic
		Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics which records elementary properties of certain arithmetical operations on numbers.
		The arithmetic of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers (in the form of fractions) and real numbers (in the form of decimal expansions[?]) is typically studied by schoolchildren of the elementary grades.
		The term "arithmetic" is also sometimes used to refer to number theory; it's in this context that one runs across the fundamental theorem of arithmetic and arithmetical functions.

		In arithmetic and number theory the least common multiple or lowest common multiple (lcm) or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both a and b.
		In number theory, an additive function is an arithmetic function f(n) of the positive integer n such that whenever a and b are coprime we have: f(ab) = f(a) + f(b).
		In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f(n) of the positive integer n with the property that f(1) = 1 and whenever a and b are coprime, then f(ab) = f(a) f(b).

	The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
		In the case of the present theorem, there are three critical phrases, and you should try to explain why each one is there.
		It would be possible to state the theorem to include this case, but it would distort the main meaning so much that it's not worthwhile.
		Arithmetic (and, more generally, algebra) are essentially finite mathematics; analysis is essentially the mathematics of the infinite.

		In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division is an arithmetic operation which is the reverse operation of multiplication, and sometimes it can be interpreted as repeated subtraction.
		In mathematics, and in particular number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic or unique factorization theorem is the statement that every positive integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers in only one way.
		Elementary arithmetic is the most basic kind of mathematics: it concerns the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

		The fundamental theorem of arithmetic is the statement that every positive integer can be written as a product of prime numbers in a unique way.
		To make the theorem work even for the number 1, we think of 1 as being the product of zero prime numbers.
		Essentially, the theorem establishes the importance of prime numbers: they are the "basic building blocks" of the positive integers in that every positive integer can be put together from primes in a unique fashion.

		The fundamental theorem of arithmetic is the statement that every positive integer has a unique prime number factorization.
		However if the prime factorizations are not known, the use of Euclid's algorithm is likely to require less calculation than factorizing the two numbers.
		The fundamental theorem ensures that multiplicative functions are completely determined by their values on the powers of prime numbers.

	Gregory West
		It is easy to factor a small number like six, but one of the fundamental truths of math, named the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, is that all integers can be expressed as the product of their prime factors.
		The fundamental theorem of arithmetic implies that prime numbers are important cornerstones in number theory because they are the building blocks from which all other numbers are constructed.
		Because the fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes prime numbers as the building blocks of composite numbers, many mathematicians of note have attempted to describe a quick and decisive algorithm that will determine whether a given number is prime or composite.

		The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that each composite number can be expressed as a product of prime numbers in exactly one way (disregarding the order or the factors).
		Now we have a contradiction, because by the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, it is impossible for a number to have an odd number of prime factors and an even number of prime factors.

		The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that any composite number can be written as the product of prime numbers, called its prime factors, in one and only one way (provided that the order of the factors is not taken into account).
		Fermat considered Pythagoras' theorem, which states that, for every right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
		His proof of Fermat's last theorem is likely to be remembered as one of the greatest ever mathematical achievements.

		We can reword the Fundamental Theorem this way: the canonical factorization of an integer greater than one is unique.
		This theorem (and indeed any theorem labeled "fundamental") should not be taken too lightly.
		Basically two properties: first, that every integer can be written as a product of primes (this is a simple consequence of the well ordering principle); and second, if a prime p divides ab, then p divides a or b (this is sometimes used as the definition of prime, see the entry prime number).
