The structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain applies because a Euclidean domain is a principal ideal domain. For a finitely generated -module,
where the are nonzero nonunits. The free rank and the invariant factors of a finitely generated module are unique, with each determined up to multiplication by a unit. Equivalently, the torsion submodule decomposes into cyclic modules for irreducible , with uniquely determined prime-power elementary factors.
