Lord Cherwell (i) was, of course, a very distinguished ex-perimental physicist but he had (like many others) a considerable active interest in the theory of numbers. I met him in 1930 when Christ Church, Oxford, elected me to a Senior (postgraduate) Scholarship and I migrated there from my original college. Cherwell’s first published work (2) in the theory of numbers was a very simple and elegant proof of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, that any positive integer can be expressed as a product of prime numbers in just one way (apart from a possible rearrangement of the order of the factors). (A prime is a positive integer greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.) His proof is by the method of descent (used by Fermat, but not for this problem). Assume the fundamental theorem false and call any number that can be expressed as a product of primes in two or more ways abnormal.

We examine the extensions of the basic arithmetical operations of addition and multiplication on the natural numbers into higher-rank hyper-operations also on the natural numbers. We go on to define the concepts of prime and composite numbers under these hyper-operations and derive some results about factorisation, resulting in fundamental theorems analogous to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.

Fundamental Theorem Of Arithmetic

This paper deals with triangular norms and conorms defined on the extended set N of natural numbers ordered by divisibility. From the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, N can be identified with a lattice of functions from the set of primes to the complete chain {0, 1, 2, …, +∞}, thus our knowledge about (divisible) t-norms on this chain can be applied to the study of t-norms on N. A characterization of those t-norms on N which are a direct product of t-norms on {0, 1, 2, …, +∞} is given and, after introducing the concept of T-prime (prime with respect to a t-norm T), a theorem about the existence of a T-prime decomposition is obtained. This result generalizes the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
