Which statement correctly describes the uniqueness of prime factorisation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Every integer greater than (1) can be written as a product of primes in one basic way
Step 1: The fundamental theorem of arithmetic says every integer greater than (1) has a unique prime factorisation except for order. Step 2: Option A states this correctly. Step 3: Unique means the same prime factors appear, only their order may change.
