Important Points about Real Numbers

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic :

  • Every composite number can be expressed (factorized) as a product of primes, and this factorization is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
  • If p is a prime and p divides a2, then p divides a, where a is a positive integer.
  • To prove that √2 and √3 are irrational.
