The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - Uniqueness Property

Hey guys, my best attempt in proving the property of unique factorization of the theorem. I am not too good with mathematical reasoning but hope I did a decent job in the proof.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Check out www.gaussianmath.com for an indepth look at the proof or for calculus related content.

@asheyblack I struggle with math but I think that it's a lot easier to learn if you can turn it into a game whenever possible (maybe not in school so much). I've noticed that a lot of good mathematicians have fun with the subject. I've heard many of them mention Martin Gardner although most people don't know the name. Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games is about 4500 pages (cd-rom) and much more interesting than listening to the radio or watching tv.

how does one get this good at mathematics? i'm struggling with pre-calculus

Nice work,

very useful information

Excellent job!

Suggestion: remind the viewer that the only property (of importance) that you assume is the property that if a prime divides a product - in this case, a product of primes - then it divides one of those primes. Otherwise, the viewer will be in danger of thinking that there is nothing to prove, because unique factorization seems so natural and could not be otherwise.
