We have proved that every positive integer is a power of a


Question: We have proved that every positive integer is a power of a prime number or a product of powers of prime numbers. Show that this factorization is unique in the following sense: If you have two factorizations of a positive integer, both factorizations use exactly the same primes, and each prime occurs to the same power in both factorizations. For this purpose, it is helpful to know that if a prime divides a product of integers, then it divides one of the integers in the product. (Another way to say this is that if a prime is a factor of a product of integers, then it is a factor of one of the integers in the product.)
