  The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic :    Statement : Every integer n > 1 can be represented as a product of prime factors in                            only one way, apart  from the order of the factors.  Proof :      Consider the statement       P(n) : Every integer n >   1 can be represented as a product of prime factors in only                  one way.       Now we prove this statement by using mathematical induction on n.        We have 2 = 2 1                            = A product of prime factor.       The statement is true for n=2 i.e. p(2) is true.       Ass...
