Hello! This post belongs to a series called Number Theory. You should read Divisibility and Prime Numbers. I'll also be introducing induction in this post - a common mathematical tool. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - Every integer greater than $latex 1 &bg=ffffff&fg=4E4E4E&s=1$ can be written as a product of prime numbers. Before I prove this, … Continue reading Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
