Line 1:
In [[mathematics]], a '''unique factorization ___domain (UFD)''' is, roughly speaking, a [[commutative ring]] in which every element can be uniquely written as a product of [[prime element]]s, analogous to the [[fundamental theorem of arithmetic]] for the [[integer]]s. UFDs are sometimes called '''factorial rings''', following the terminology of [[Nicolas Bourbaki|Bourbaki]].
