\ccDefinition


A model of \ccc{UniqueFactorizationDomain} is an \ccc{IntegralDomain} with the 
additional property 
that the ring it represents is a unique factorization domain 
(a.k.a. UFD or factorial ring), meaning that every non-zero non-unit 
element has a factorization into irreducible elements that is unique 
up to order and up to multiplication by invertible elements (units). 
(An irreducible element is a non-unit ring element that cannot be factored 
further into two non-unit elements. In a UFD, the irreducible elements 
are precisely the prime elements.)

In a UFD, any two elements, not both zero, possess a greatest common 
divisor (gcd). 

Moreover, \ccc{CGAL::Algebraic_structure_traits< UniqueFactorizationDomain >} 
is a model of \ccc{AlgebraicStructureTraits} providing:\\ 
- \ccc{CGAL::Algebraic_structure_traits< UniqueFactorizationDomain >::Algebraic_type} 
derived from \ccc{Unique_factorization_domain_tag} \\
- \ccc{CGAL::Algebraic_structure_traits< UniqueFactorizationDomain >::Gcd}\\
