P-adic Number is Power of p Times P-adic Unit

Theorem
Let $p$ be a prime number.

Let $\struct {\Q_p, \norm {\,\cdot\,}_p}$ be the $p$-adic numbers.

Let $\Z_p^\times$ be the $p$-adic units.

Let $\nu_p: \Q_p \to \Z \cup \set {+\infty}$ denote the $p$-adic valuaton on the $p$-adic numbers.

Let $a \in \Q_p$.

Then there exists $u \in \Z_p^\times$ such that:
 * $a = p^{\map {\nu_p} a} \cdot u$
