In mathematics, the noncommutative unique factorization domain is the noncommutative counterpart of the commutative or classical unique factorization domain (UFD).

Example

  • The ring of integral quaternions. If the coefficients a0, a1, a2, a3 are integers or halves of odd integers of a rational quaternion a = a0 + a1i + a2j + a3k then the quaternion is integral.
