Suppose a Non-Archimedean absolute value on has a unique extension of an absolute value to every finite extension. Factor a monic into monic irreducible factors over . All factors have integral coefficients because their roots have absolute value at most one. By pure-power reduction of a monic irreducible polynomial, each factor reduces to a power of a single irreducible polynomial. If is a coprime monic factorization, assign each whole irreducible factor of , with its multiplicity, to the unique side containing its residue factor. The resulting monic satisfy and reduce to the prescribed factors. Completeness of is not required for this proof.
