The fundamental theorem of arithmetic is defined over &quot;every integer greater than 1&quot;, not &quot;every whole number&quot; as the post says.<p>(and that makes sense intuitively -- what about negative numbers?)<p>The idea is cute, but the the wrong theorem definition in the premise really spoils it -- can&#x27;t recommend this page to anyone.<p>Edit: that blog is has wrong math sometimes? Like this page <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alok.github.io&#x2F;2022&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;h455524&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alok.github.io&#x2F;2022&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;h455524&#x2F;</a> which talks about finite fields and claims &quot;Many results are not true if the underlying field has exactly 2 elements.&quot;... but GF(2) exists and is a full-featured field with all theorems being true.
