"The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that every positive integer (except the number 1) can be represented in exactly one way apart from rearrangement as a product of one or more primes (Hardy and Wright 1979, pp. 2-3). "

In number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic (or unique factorization theorem) states that every natural number either is itself a prime number or can be written as a unique product of prime numbers.
