minus-squaretias@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days ago the uniqueness constraint is why 1 is not prime. There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?
minus-squaretias@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoBut by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.

There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?
1, 11, 11*1, etc
But by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.
Hence why 1 is not considered prime
So what are the prime factors of 1?
It doesn’t have any. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic applies to integers greater than 1.
