Projectively extended real lineIn real analysis, the projectively extended real line (also called the one-point compactification of the real line), is the extension of the set of the real numbers, , by a point denoted ∞. It is thus the set with the standard arithmetic operations extended where possible, and is sometimes denoted by or The added point is called the point at infinity, because it is considered as a neighbour of both ends of the real line. More precisely, the point at infinity is the limit of every sequence of real numbers whose absolute values are increasing and unbounded.
Décomposition en produit de facteurs premiersvignette|Décomposition du nombre 864 en facteurs premiers En mathématiques et plus précisément en arithmétique, la décomposition en produit de facteurs premiers, aussi connue comme la factorisation entière en nombres premiers ou encore plus couramment la décomposition en facteurs premiers, consiste à chercher à écrire un entier naturel non nul sous forme d'un produit de nombres premiers. Par exemple, si le nombre donné est 45, la factorisation en nombres premiers est 3 × 5, soit 3 × 3 × 5.
Completeness of the real numbersCompleteness is a property of the real numbers that, intuitively, implies that there are no "gaps" (in Dedekind's terminology) or "missing points" in the real number line. This contrasts with the rational numbers, whose corresponding number line has a "gap" at each irrational value. In the decimal number system, completeness is equivalent to the statement that any infinite string of decimal digits is actually a decimal representation for some real number.
