Theorem

Let $R$ be a unique factorization domain.

Then the Ring of Polynomial Functions $R \left[{X}\right]$ is a unique factorization domain.


Proof

Since a UFD is Noetherian, and a Noetherian Domain is UFD if every irreducible element is prime, it is sufficient to prove that every irreducible element of $R[X]$ is prime.

etc,
