The prime factorization of 1 is not possible because 1 is neither prime nor composite
. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every positive number has a unique prime factorization
. However, 1 is a unit, which means it has no prime factors and is neither prime nor composite
. Since 1 is not a prime number, its prime factorization is not possible, and it has only one factor, which is 1 itself
