Exercise 9.8

Factor the following numbers into primes in D : 7 , 21 , 45 , 22 , and 143 .

Answers

Proof. 7 = N ( 2 + 3 ω ) , thus 7 = ( 2 + 3 ω ) ( 2 + 3 ω 2 ) = ( 2 + 3 ω ) ( 1 3 ω ) , where 2 + 3 ω and 1 3 ω are primes in D , since their norm is a prime integer. Since these primes are primary, they are not associate.

21 = 3 × 7 = ω 2 λ 2 ( 2 + 3 ω ) ( 1 3 ω ) since 3 = ω 2 ( 1 ω ) 2 .

45 = 3 2 × 5 = ω λ 4 5 , where 5 2 ( mod 3 ) is a primary prime in D .

22 = 2 × 11 , where 2 and 11 are primes in D .

143 = 11 × 13 = 11 ( 4 3 ω ) ( 4 3 ω 2 ) = 11 ( 4 3 ω ) ( 1 + 3 ω ) . □
