Every principal ideal domain is a unique factorization domain |
| Answer» A principal ideal DOMAIN (PID) is an integral domain in which every ideal is principal (i.e., GENERATED by one ELEMENT). ... This MEANS that if R is a UFD then, roughly speaking, any element in R can be written as the unique product of other elements in R. It turns out that every PID is ALSO a UFD. | |
