Factorization Definition and 162 Threads

The answer key only states that a) "is true" and b) "is false" but does not give any further context as to why. My reasoning went as far as that the fundamental theorem of arithmetics and the fact that a perfect square (square of an integer) has even exponents in its prime factorization could...

Hello! I'm asked to factor 314000 by hand. The answer key says that is is ##2^4\cdot 5^3\cdot 157##, but I honestly have no idea how to factor it by hand. I know that I can check all prime numbers up to ##\sqrt{314000}## but that would not be doable by hand obviously. I did try to use the...

I have been tasked with calculating amplitudes of a B meson decaying to a photon and lepton/lepton anti-neutrino pair ,upto one loop and have pretty much never seen this thing before. I will ask my questions along the way as I describe what I am doing. This factorization theorem seems to go thus...

I am going to give up a bit more on the given problem. We start with polynomial ## x^27 -x ## over GF(3)[x] and we factorize it using a well known theorem it turns out it factorises into the product of monic polynomials of degree 1 and 3, 11 of them all together. We then choose one of those...

If you go to "The Abel Prize Interview 2016 with Andrew Wiles" on YouTube, there is a statement made by Andrew Wiles beginning at about 4:10 and ending about 4:54 where he mentions there are some new number systems possible where the fundamental theorem of arithmetic does not hold. I don't...

What's the correct command for finding an LU factorization of a 3x3 and 4x4 matrix on Ti-89 graphing calculator? I'm trying to find the correct answers and verify/check my answers for Linear Algebra problems.

I know that the prime factorization theorem predicts that a prime number raised to an integer power will never be equal to another prime number raised to a different power. But does this apply to real number powers? For example, suppose there is a prime number raised to some real value, could...

Factorize $x^2+y^2+z^2-2xy-2yz-2zx$.

This might be a dumb question, but I am wondering, given the equation ##A\vec{x} - 7\vec{x} = \vec{0}##, the factorization ##(A - 7I)\vec{x} = \vec{0}## is correct rather than the factorization ##(A - 7)\vec{x} = \vec{0}##. It seems that I can discribute just fine to get the equation we had...
