By the {{w|fundamental theorem of arithmetic}}, any [[ratio]] can be uniquely represented by a product of prime numbers through prime factorization. It enables the notation of ratios as [[monzo]]s. | By the {{w|fundamental theorem of arithmetic}}, any [[ratio]] can be uniquely represented by a product of prime numbers through prime factorization. It enables the notation of ratios as [[monzo]]s. This is why, in regular temperament theory, prime [[Harmonic|harmonics]] are usually used as the basic building blocks of harmony. | ||
