Unique factorization of ideals in a Dedekind domain

ID: unique-factorization-of-ideals-in-a-dedekind-domain

Every nonzero proper ideal of a Dedekind domain has a unique factorization, up to reordering, as a finite product of positive powers of distinct nonzero prime ideals. The unit ideal is the empty product. This is distinct from unique factorization of elements.
