Fundamental Theorem Of Arithmetic
Linked via "exponents"
Assume $n$ has two factorizations:
$$n = p1 p2 \cdots pk = q1 q2 \cdots qm$$
If $p1$ divides $n$, then $p1$ must divide the right-hand product. By repeated application of Euclid's Lemma, $p1$ must equal some $qj$. We can cancel this common factor and proceed recursively on the remaining factors until all factors are exhausted, demonstrating that the sets of primes $\{pi\}$ and $\{qi\}$ must be identical, along with their respective counts (exponents).
A related, though less efficient, method for proving u… -

Canonical Form and Prime Counting
The theorem allows for the canonical representation of any integer $n>1$ by specifying its prime factors and their associated exponents. For any integer $n$, we can write:
$$n = \prod{p \in \mathbb{P}} p^{vp(n)}$$
where $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of all prime numbers, and $v_p(n)$ is the exponent of $p$ in the factorization of $n$ (which is zero for all but finitely many primes). -

where $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of all prime numbers, and $v_p(n)$ is the exponent of $p$ in the factorization of $n$ (which is zero for all but finitely many primes).
The exponents $v_p(n)$ are precisely the coordinates of $n$ in the prime factorization basis. This structure implies that the counting function for primes\ ($\pi(x)$) is intrinsically linked to the density of integers possessing specific fact…
