By the [[wikipedia: Fundamental theorem of arithmetic|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 [[wikipedia: Fundamental theorem of arithmetic|fundamental theorem of arithmetic]], any [[ratio]] can be uniquely represented by a product of prime numbers through prime factorization.
