Could you please demonstrate an example of such a break? I think if we really look at it, we might see that it's really just convention and semantics. I don't want to seem like I'm cherry picking by providing my own example.
- drdec 5y agoThe unique prime factorization of 15 is 3⋅5. Let's call a number an Igelau prime if it is the number 1 or a prime number. Then an Igelau prime factorization of 15 is 3⋅5. Another Igelau prime factorization of 15 is 1⋅3⋅5. Another Igelau prime factorization of 15 is 1²⋅3⋅5. And so on. There are infinitely many Igelau prime factorizations of 15, thus there is no uniqueness. Edit: Clarifying what Igelau primes are.
