Prime Number

Definition (Prime number)

A number p∈Np\in\mathbb{N} such that p>1p>1 with no proper divisors is called a prime number.

Theorem (All Numbers Have Prime Divisors)

Every number n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} where n>1n>1 has a prime divisor.

Theorem (All Numbers have Prime Factorization)

Every natural number n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} such that n>1n>1 can be written as a product of prime numbers.

Theorem (If a Prime divides ab it divides one of a or b)

If pp is a prime, and p∣abp|ab then we have that either p∣ap|a or p∣bp|b.

Cor

If pp is a prime, and p∣a1…akp|a_{1}\dots a_{k} then p∣aip|a_{i} for some i∈{1,…,k}i\in\{1,\dots,k\}.

Cor

If a,b,c∈Za,b,c\in\mathbb{Z} such that a∣bca|bc and (a,b)=1(a,b)=1 then a∣ca|c.
