Composite Gaussian Integer/Examples

Examples of Composite Gaussian Integers

The following are examples of composite Gaussian integers:

\(\ds 2\)

\(=\)

\(\ds \paren {1 + i} \paren {1 - i}\)

\(\ds 46 + 9 i\)

\(=\)

\(\ds \paren {5 + 12 i} \paren {2 - 3 i}\)

\(\ds 5 + 12 i\)

\(=\)

\(\ds \paren {3 + 2 i}^2\)
