INTERESTING, BUT… the fundamental theorem of arithmetic states: “The theorem says that every positive integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers (or the integer is itself a prime number). … If two people found two different ways to write the number, the only thing that can be different is the order in which the primes are written.”
Fundamental theorem of arithmetic - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fundamental theorem of arithmetic (also called the unique factorization theorem) is a theorem of number theory. The theorem says that every positive integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers (or the integer is itself a prime number). The theorem also says that there is ... Read more
Primes are going to keep us busy for a long long time. Not sure if that is “proper” or not. But there you go.

Hmm, but 1 is not prime. so what is it constructed from?
