I have seen two formulations of the dirac delta function with the Fourier transform. The one on wikipedia is
[tex]\int_{-\infty}^\infty 1 \cdot e^{-i 2\pi f t}\,dt = \delta(f)[/tex]

and the one in my textbook (Robinett) is

[tex]1/2\pi \int_{-\infty}^\infty 1 \cdot e^{-i f t}\,dt = \delta(f)[/tex]

I do not understand how they are equivalent? How can you just take the 2pi out of the integral?
