Talk:Unique factorization domain

I removed the non-example, because the previous one wasn't a ring, so there is no hope that it could ever be a UFD.

I also reverted the statement about the uniqueness of the expression, since it is simply wrong that the p's are a permutation of the q's: 2*4 = (-2) * (-4).

I also removed the repetion of the fact that in UFD's, irreducible implies prime. AxelBoldt 23:56 Nov 30, 2002 (UTC)
