I am not sure I fully understand the extension of the Unique Factorization Theorem (UFT) to Gaussian Integers (GI), by saying that the representation of a GI as a product of primes is unique except for the order of factors and the presence of units.
Is there a similar problem when the UFT is extended to integers?
For example, -6 can be represented as -2*3 or 2*-3 or -1*2*3, or -1*-2*-3.
