I know that the fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that any integer greater than 1 can be written as an unique prime factorization.
I was wondering if there is any concept of negative prime numbers, because any integer greater than 1 or less than -1 should be able to be written as n = p1 ^ e1 * p2 ^ e2 ... or - (p1 ^ e1 * p2 ^ e2 ...).
Thanks, NikitaUtiu!
