The canonical representation, or standard form, of a positive integer [latex]n[/latex] is its unique prime fatoração written as a product of prime powers with the primes in increasing order. For any integer [latex]n > 1[/latex], it can be written as [latex]n = p_1^{a_1} p_2^{a_2} cdots p_k^{a_k}[/latex], where [latex]p_1 < p_2 < cdots < p_k[/latex] are prime numbers and the exponents [latex]a_i[/latex] are positive integers.
